Loras College is amazing. I am so glad I decided to attend here. Everyone is like a close-knit family. The professors truly care and there are so many interesting classes to take for a small college. Loras is also great at networking and internships-vital to be able to get a job nowadays. If you care about your future-come to Loras!

not happy
Overall 1.5
The food at this place is the worst thing I have ever put into my body. It should be illegal for the slop they serve the students (Re-serving the same powdered eggs that just sit under a heat lamp for days). Also, there is absolutely nothing do in Dubuque. The closest Ive ever come to suicide was during my time at Loras College.

I'm not in love with Loras at all. I feel like I am not getting prepared for the real world and real job settings at all. A lot is revolved around religion, yes I know it is a Catholic college, but it's really annoying for those of us who are not Catholic and are going here just for the liberal arts, close to home and relatively cheap aspect...

Food is trash and does not chance between meals. Campus lighting is poor and snow removal is limited causing difficultly in walking to class.
