Loyola University Chicago
Loyola University Chicago, or Loyola Chicago as it's known for short, is the largest Jesuit institution in the country. The school has two locations in Chicago-Lake Shore and Water Tower- where on-campus living is separated between freshmen, sophomores, and all upperclassmen. The university also has an international campus four miles from downtown Rome, where about 400 students study abroad each year. The Loyola Ramblers compete in the NCAA Division I Horizon League.
For graduate students, Loyola Chicago has a business school, a law school-particularly well known for healthcare law-and a medical school. There are accelerated 3+3 year programs for Loyola Chicago undergraduates who want to go to law or medical school at Loyola, too. Notable alumni include Ian Brennan, cocreator of the TV show Glee; Thomas Purcell, coexecutive producer of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report; and Michael Quinlan, former CEO of McDonald's Corp.
