So guys, I’m excited to announce that I’ve been accepted to the following schools:
DePaul University
Loyola University Chicago
Texas Christian University
University of San Francisco
Loyola Marymount University
Franklin University Switzerland
The problem is, I have no idea which to attend. Each has given me the same amount of substantial merit scholarships, so I’m not taking price into consideration. So far I’m leaning toward DePaul/Loyola Chicago only because I’m in love with Chicago and have family there. But when I picture myself attending any of these schools I find myself happy at all.
I’m majoring in Political Science and hope to attend law school one day. Academics and internship opportunities are important, but I also want a school in a great location and a friendly community. Please let me know what you guys think!
Yes one of the schools is in Switzerland and I would enjoy the experience, but again I’m looking for some insight because I really can picture myself at any of these schools…as for religious affiliation, I made a point of applying to a lot of Jesuit schools simply because I agree Jesuit ideals, but religious affiliation doesn’t particularly matter per se.
Franklin in Switzerland isn’t at the same level as the other Universities, so, you can easily cross it out.
Is Loyola Marymount LMU-LA?
TCU is definitely more conservative than all others.
Loyola Chicago and DePaul are more moderate politically (slightly liberal for Catholic schools, but not liberal by most Colleges’ standards.)
Loyola Marymount is LMU-LA and thank you for the advice on Franklin…I just thought it would be cool to experience Europe a bit but I’ve know it’s not as academically strong.
I am looking for a liberal school, TCU is only on the list because it’s right in my backyard pretty much. Out of all these schools, which one would have the strongest reputation? Which one is the most well known?
I visited LMU last summer and can sum up my experience:
I want to major in communications so that whole LA experience was for me, but idk how it will fit you because you are a poli sci major. It is a small jesuit school (they even require you to take a course on religion, but the tour guide told me you could even take a course on theology in harry potter or stuff like that) The location is amazing, near the beaches and there are many companies that you can intern with that are close by. But again, idk how suitable it is with your major. I would say the whole LA area is better for film or media stuff. But dont let these stop you, LA is great and there are alot of stuff to do. LMU campus is small, but not very small. I liked the libraries and in front of the chapel, there is a great big lawn. Some dorms even have a view of the ocean. I can give more insight if you have any questions!
