Providence College vs Loyola University Maryland

<p>I was accepted into both providence and loyola and I am having a difficult time deciding on the two. I am from ny, and the distance from each does not matter. What is everyone's opinions of the two schools, which is better academically? which is better socially? thanks so much!</p>

<p>Hopefully I’ll bump this so someone more in “the know” will respond. We took college tours of each of the colleges. PC’s tour was for a D two years older than our son who just sent a deposit into Loyola. There are so many positives about Loyola, reputation, campus, student body and student’s appreciation for wellness. Once our son visited the campus he felt a true fit and was very excited about his decision to spend his college years at Loyola. Our daughter is a student at Goucher College, 10 minutes away, and she loves all that Baltimore has to offer. Have you made a decision on Loyola or PC?</p>

<p>Warrior, can you compare Goucher and Loyola Maryland for me? My daughter and I are touring both in October.</p>

<p>Seems that I read somewhere that Loyola was listed as having the “best dorm rooms” ???</p>

<p>I have also heard Loyola Md is on Princetn Rviews list of “Dorms like Palaces” </p>

<p>Loyola Md is a Jesuit School vs. Goucher which is does not have a religious affiliation. I had considered Loyola MD for my D but she objects to the religious component. There are required courses in theology. Just FYI. Also, she said she heard it is a “lax-bro” school, whatever that means lol…FWIW</p>
