Loyola University-Carthage

Apparently, this is where the sub-​par main campus staff goes. The advising staff is a joke, they are not responsive by email, frequently claiming that emails «got lost». The assistant dean is MIA for long periods of time, doesn’t bother to put an out of the office response in, and rarely responds even if he is in the office. The advisors will promise you one thing and then do something else, if they do anything at all. The staff seems to think that students have nothing better to do then wait on the advisors to take action. You don’t get your internship in a timely manner leaving you to either push back your graduation date (more money for them) or work extra hours to catch up. The advisors clearly have not maintained or established relationships with local agencies for internship placements. And if you attempt to find your own internship, the advisor’s get upset and refuse the internship. Frequently the Chicago campus has to get involved to settle student-​advisor/​administration disputes due to the campus staff’s gross incompetence. While some of the teachers do commute from main campus, Loyola also supplements more local professors. These local people seem to have just graduated or are phd students… really this is what we are paying a ridiculous amount of tuition for? People with little to no experience? Do NOT go to this campus, it’s a joke and the community knows it’s a joke. The campus is very pretty, and the classrooms are very nice with plenty of room and outlets for your laptop… but if that’s the best that can be said for a college, that’s sad.
