Loyola’s Evergreen campus is, quite simply, what college should be: grassy quadrangles filled with Frisbees, slacklines, and hammocks, historic academic buildings that inspire you to crack the books, and comfortable residence halls where you have life-changing conversations with friends.

Located on 80 acres of wooded Maryland landscape, Loyola offers the best of two worlds: The Evergreen campus is distinct from the surrounding city, yet intimately connected to the diverse and quirky metropolis of Baltimore. We invite you to explore our on-campus and virtual visit experiences and start envisioning your life as a Greyhound: www.loyola.edu/visit.

“The sense of community, the faculty, the friends, and the bonds I have made so far are my favorite things about Loyola. We all want to be successful, and it’s really inspiring to be around such brilliant minds.”
Brynn, Biology major, Class of 2024
