Why do Mississippians choose Loyola University New Orleans for law school?
Madison Sisco, J.D. '22
The University of Mississippi '19
“I was attracted to Loyola for many reasons but the main one is how everyone seems like a family here. Loyola is the only place I visited because once I came here, I knew this is where I was supposed to be. All of the administrators seemed like they would go out of their way to help me in any way I needed.”
William Wildman, J.D. ‘23
University of Mississippi ‘17
“Loyola Law met me exactly where I was and helped me personalize my path to success. The administration continually addressed student needs while acknowledging and challenging larger issues of inequity, and at the same time, students were taught to overcome these obstacles.”
Sydney Rusovich, J.D. ‘24
University of Mississippi ‘18
“Because of Loyola's deep commitment to its Jesuit values, Loyola faculty, staff, and students are caring and sympathetic. I really enjoy engaging with my classmates and faculty and am confident that here I have the support system I need to succeed. I have also loved living in New Orleans because it is such a fun and inviting city.”
