Comments • “My only major complaint was having to sit in the Gentile Arena for several sessions and it being so cold. The cold temperature made it difficult to stay focused on the presentations. I heard many parents and students complaining about the temperature.” • July 9-10 • “We blindly figured out Locus. We were able to register for classes early as an Honors student but almost missed it because we are still in school and concentrating on AP and end of year. Thank goodness I signed up for Webinar. Still don't understand "CORE.” The advisor was very helpful but we really needed and wanted a little more hand holding.” • August 22-23 • “Get the Orientation schedule for Honors/Learning Groups/Int'l out on the website earlier in the summer, perhaps on the Honors page on the website. I had to say good bye to my child as she had to run off to the student lunch session...I was hoping for something a little more meaningful for us.” • August 22-23
Comments: Cont’d • “I was very impressed with the friendliness, organization, and thoroughness of the staff and student leaders at orientation. The campus, right next to the lake is beautiful and I especially enjoyed the parent reception.” • July 6-7 • “The orientation exceeded my expectations. The students helping out were incredibly helpful and positive. I felt as if I truly received an opportunity to experience a day in the life at Loyola University. Everything was well thought out.” • July 9-10 • “Registration was excellent! Terrific organization, lots of volunteer help and very fluid/smooth. The staggered check-in times for students was great----helped eliminate the cluster effect! Very friendly staff, clearly marked instructions and an enthusiastic welcome. What parent could ask for more?!” • August 22-23
