Welcome to all current, new and prospective international students!
We seek to be a resource and place to connect, whether you're still in your home country or already in Chicago! Loyola's International Student & Scholar Services, a division of the Office for International Programs, provides immigration support and opportunities for cultural collaboration to the 500+ students who call Loyola their temporary home. We welcome students from all across the globe and are happy to serve them throughout their time in Chicago.

We got this amazing IEW post from our Rambler Lindsey Perone-
"International education has made me more resilient by giving me new life experiences and challenges! Learning to adapt to the culture and language in Rome has been a challenge, especially since I came in with no Italian knowledge. However, little reminders of Chicago such as the "Angels Unawares" sculpture in Vatican City help me feel at home in Rome!"
