I didn't go to Marquette, but another Jesuit school and I have to say that I completely did not understand what being at Jesuit school meant. This is not at all meant as a disparaging Marquette/Loyola/Jesuits/Catholicism. I actually ended up really liking the whole experience and learned a lot and got super involved in service because of Loyola's Jesuit teachings, but to start out on campus as someone who didn't have any experience with it, it was a little overwhelming. If you're not from a Jesuit HS, I think you'll find it very different to begin with. I went to a public high school and I was completely not prepared for the Jesuit/religion thing to come across so strongly. Maybe that was naive of me. I had never been in a place where so many young people were so strongly religious. Don't get me wrong, it certainly wasn't like I was getting hit across the head with religion every moment of every day, but the basic Jesuit teachings like Ad Majorem Dei Glorium, education of the whole person, and service come across in pretty much every on-campus activity. I'm worried that I'm going to turn people off by saying these things, but let me add that I am not highly religious, nor Catholic and I was at school for 4.5 years and never felt uncomfortable. I found the experience so wonderful that I considered joining the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. But I do wish that I had known these things before I stepped on campus because I found it very off-putting at first. And the Jesuits are the most liberal of Catholics too. I loved my time at Marquette and wouldn't change it for anything. I transfered to MU from the University of Arizona and even though the weather change was a shock, the education was fantastic. I majored in Marketing and Finance with a Poli Sci minor and found the education to be top notch. Marquette (as does UW-Madison) has a top 50 undergraduate business program. I liked the smaller class sizes to be helpful and the ability to intern while in school to be great. To me, the smaller school was better than the entire big campus expiernce - minus the weather and woman in Zona.
