Loyola University Maryland

Loyola University Maryland is a special school in Baltimore, Maryland. It is a private university started by a group called the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, in 1852. It is named after St. Ignatius of Loyola and is the ninth-oldest school started by Jesuits in the United States.

The school has a beautiful campus with buildings that look like old castles, called Collegiate Gothic style. There is a special bridge for students to walk over Charles Street. Loyola has three main places where students learn: the Loyola College of Arts and Sciences, the Loyola School of Education, and the Sellinger School of Business and Management.

Loyola has students from many places. About 4,000 students study there during the day, and many live in dorms on campus. Classes are kept small, with about 20 students in each class. The school is known for its men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, called the Greyhounds. They play exciting games, especially against their rival, Johns Hopkins University.

Loyola also helps students learn how to help others. Many students spend time doing good deeds in the community. They work on projects to support people in need and learn how to make the world better. The school’s colors are green and grey, and students enjoy many traditions, like special dinners and fun spring festivals.
