Loyola Library and Media Center: Improving Reading and Listening Skills
You are encouraged to borrow resources from the Loyola main library, which maintains a well-stocked selection of books, magazines, newspapers, and research materials such as dictionaries and encyclopedias. You are also strongly encouraged to use the Media Center which has an interesting selection of documentaries and movies.
University Facilities: Available to LIEP Students
As an intensive English student, you enjoy the same privileges as other Loyola students with full access to the library, health center, residence halls, dining facilities, and recreational facilities. The university also offers numerous activities: concerts, ballet, lectures, theatre, film series, and social events. The university’s Recreational Sports and Athletics Complex has courts for tennis, basketball, volleyball, racquetball, and handball, a weight room, a jogging area, a swimming pool, sauna, whirlpool, and a steam room. LIEP students are encouraged to join clubs, exercise classes, and intramural teams.
Housing: Live on Campus
Housing for men and women is available on campus in Loyola’s modern, air-conditioned residence halls. They provide a safe and secure living environment and give you the opportunity to make friends with U.S. students. All rooms are double rooms, and LIEP students are almost always placed with English-speaking roommates. You should apply early since space in the residence halls is limited.
Many apartments are available near campus if you plan to stay in New Orleans for a longer period of time. We recommend, however, that you initially live on campus. There are several cafeterias on campus which serve three meals daily at moderate prices. There is also a wide variety of inexpensive restaurants in the university area.
