ABOUT LOYOLA NEW ORLEANS
Loyola was chartered in 1912 by Jesuit priests, firmly rooting the institution in the Jesuit beliefs of educating the whole person. Much of its colorful and distinguished history can be seen in those who call Loyola their alma mater: people who went on to become city leaders, teachers, scientists, attorneys, pharmacists, musicians, and business executives.
Loyola University is intricately tied to the vibrant city of New Orleans. Creative thought and community action live side by side in our one-of-a-kind home. New Orleans began with the Vieux Carré, or the French Quarter—a square that hugs an elbow curve in the Mississippi River. The architecture is European and Creole, the colors are Caribbean, and the festive lifestyle is a New Orleans trademark. For 300 years, it has been the heart of the city, centered on Jackson Square. It’s home to these spots and much more:
The French Market
Riverwalk
The Aquarium of the Americas
Spanish Plaza
Museums
Restaurants
Enough activity for a lifetime of sightseeing
Like New Orleans, you have to experience Loyola University firsthand to truly see its charm.
