8. Comments: “Personally, I felt there was too much moving back and forth between buildings. The information was helpful but at the same time it was information overload. The food provided was probably some of the best I've had from a cafeteria thus far, no complaints.” “Lunch was really chaotic. All the information was very helpful. I just felt the parents should've had a leader as well. My leader encouraged me to stick with the group and to have my Mom wander around lost along with plenty of other parents.” *** “We received a lot of information it was kind of overwhelming but it was delivered well. The food was ok there were plenty of choices.” “I enjoyed hearing the Orientation Leaders experiences at Loyola and knowing that Loyola does care about each student.
