  1. Chicago is going to be different than Seattle, but you'll love it. Good luck braving this weather!! I'm so excited to get out of it (sorry!) Chicago is such a great place for social work, there are so many outlets and opportunities here. Baumhart is a great building. I actually worked for Campus Safety during undergrad (work-study) and my post was the front desk of Baumhart. It's a brand new building and it's HUGE. You'll have great views of the city. On campus life at Baumhart, to me, seems more independent. You have to find an org to belong to or keep an eye out for events on your own. Because the campus is downtown, a lot of events and speakers come there because it's easier to get to than Lake Shore. Water Tower is very urban so it doesn't have the feel of a traditional campus, but within the few blocks of Water Tower there is a sense of community. It's great that your living on campus too, you'll meet a lot of graduates that way. Lastly (I know this is long sorry!) Loyola is a big commuter campus, especially for grad students so use classtime to meet people and meet up outside of school/off campus.
  2. Congrats on being accepted to Loyola MSW program, it's really great. If I wasn't moving out to California I would have definately applied. I spent most of my time at the Lakeshore Campus because that's where most of my classes were held; I majored in International Studies. I did take one social work class at Water Tower and loved being on that campus. If you love being in the city you will love Water Tower; it's one block from Michigan Ave. I really liked Loyola and really appreciated having a Jesuit education. It opened my eyes to a lot of issues in the community and a lot of underserved populations. The only downfall to Loyola is how much it costs. I think it'll be worth it in the long run because it is a renowned school in Chicago. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them!
  3. Hi Everyone, My finacé found this forum for me because I have been waitlisted for the MSW program at Berkeley. I have applied for the Management and Planning concentration. Anyone else on here apply for that one as well? I graduated from Loyola Chicago in December and have been following your conversation. I'm really worried because I'm coming straight from undergrad that my chances are slim. But I've been waitlisted so all hope is not lost! I have the experience and the GPA but my GRE scores were not as strong... any thoughts anyone?! Thanks!
