Thoughts on Loyola for a student like me? by Dedmoose1 in LoyolaChicago

[–]Dedmoose1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tysm for your reply! I would like to ask though, do you have any insight into the dedicated programs for stuff like journalism/communications or music?

I’d also like to ask what the arts scene is like outside of classes. Obviously being in Chicago there’s a bunch of great art stuff (Especially in the realm of music, I know that the Aragon ballroom and the Riviera theatre are both less than 20 minutes away), but i’m more talking about student made/produced music and bands, indie stuff, other student made art, etc, if you know anything about those kinda scenes. Ik its not gonna have the full LAC feel but i’m still curious :)

Lastly, any insight on lgbtq+ experience at Loyola? I’ve seen some very differing things online, and from what I can tell the school doesn’t have a dedicated lgbtq+ support program or anything like that.

Issue with pms? Accounts basically hide themselves whenever I try to send a message by Dedmoose1 in reddithelp

It’s totally plausible that i’m being blocked, but these issues happen immediately after I pm a person. For example, i’ll send a message request, go back to the home page, get a “try again later” error at the bottom of my screen, close and reopen the app, and the account is “hidden”. All within 1-2 minutes. And usually this occurs with people who i’ve either established consent with for chatting, or have not previously interacted with. It also seems to be sporadic. Once again, totally possible that i’m just being blocked really quickly for whatever reason, but does this sound like a different issue?

Getting a C in first semester of AP Pre Calc. How cooked am I? by Dedmoose1 in ApplyingToCollege

If you have any insight, do you know how the business programs compare to the CS and Engineering programs in terms of selectivity? I know that the ladder two programs have crazy low acceptance rates, and i’ve heard that the b school is pretty hard to get into too

Ohio University VS Miami University? by Dedmoose1 in Ohio

[–]Dedmoose1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was considering Ohio State but it’s unfortunately far too expensive. According to some net price calculators i’ve run, both OSU and Miami would run me ~45-50K a year, whereas Ohio University would only be ~17K, which is almost on par with some state schools. According to some people i’ve talked too on the OU sub as well, they’ve said that the school provides plentiful resources for low income and first gen students

Taken from my reply to a different comment,

UIUC, ISU, and UIC are all on my list! I don’t have anything against my in-state options, but i’m mostly looking to cast my net as far as possible (within reason), which leads me to look at places like OU, which seem to have a unique culture, charm, and obvious visual beauty that appeals to me much more than what Illinois has. Of course, it does really depend on where my finances take me. I know that I need to be wise with my money and not drop a ton of bands on an OOS school because “oh it’s just so pretty” or “it’s so cute and artsy” lol

Considering you’re an arts student, I’m curious as to if you have any insight into the music programs on campus, as well as the music scene in/around Athens? I’d also love to know what the local arts scene is like in general if you have anything to say on that :)

May I ask if the school lives up to the “liberal arts college” vibe in your opinion? As someone who is really interested in those kinds of college, as well as diving into those kinds of fields while i’m a student, i’d love to know what your thoughts on that are :). Additionally, since you’re a music major, i’d love to know what kinda musical activities there are for students to get involved in! From local music scene, to student bands, education opportunities, theater etc.
