Loyola University Maryland
Loyola University Maryland, founded in 1852 by the Jesuit order, is one of the oldest Catholic universities in the country, and its Baltimore campus has built a solid regional reputation for its business, education, and psychology programs within the broader Jesuit university network. The university's Sellinger School of Business has built a strong reputation in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, and Loyola's relatively small undergraduate enrollment, around 4,000 students, lets it maintain smaller class sizes and closer faculty engagement than the larger public universities in the region. Loyola's men's lacrosse program, which won a national championship in 2012, reflects the broader prominence of lacrosse in Maryland generally, a sport with particularly deep roots in the state relative to most of the rest of the country, and the university's athletic programs draw heavily on that regional lacrosse culture. The university's Jesuit mission, combined with its Baltimore location and solid regional business and education program reputations, has made Loyola a consistent choice for students specifically seeking a mid-sized private Catholic university experience within the Baltimore-Washington region.
VS
United States Naval Academy
The United States Naval Academy, founded in 1845, trains midshipmen to become commissioned officers in the US Navy and Marine Corps, and admission requires a nomination from a member of Congress or another authorized official, a selection process shared with the country's other federal service academies rather than a traditional civilian admissions process. The academy's historic Annapolis campus, known as "the Yard," sits directly on the Severn River where it meets the Chesapeake Bay, and its Beaux-Arts chapel, with a crypt containing the remains of Revolutionary War naval hero John Paul Jones, is one of the most architecturally significant buildings on any American military campus. Tuition, room, and board are fully covered for all midshipmen in exchange for a post-graduation service commitment, and the demanding daily schedule combines a full engineering-heavy academic course load with military training, physical fitness requirements, and leadership development from the first day of Plebe Summer onward. The academy's football rivalry with West Point, contested annually in the Army-Navy Game, is one of the most storied rivalries in college sports, and the academy's combination of rigorous engineering-focused academics and direct commissioning into naval or Marine Corps service has made it one of the most selective undergraduate institutions in the country by admission rate.
