Studies at Loyola / Illinois Benedictine college verses College of DuPage?


Asked by Mack
As a parent, I do not understand the system here. My son wants to study Pharmacy, should he go for 2 years at Loyola and transfer to Pharmacy college such as Midwest College of Pharmacy or should he take classes at College of Dupage. Difference is 37K to 39K for studies per year at Loyola and $5K for studies at a community college. It does not look cool to study at community college but why would you pay 35K more per year in studies and not go to the local community college ? Do Loyola offer guarantee for admission to Pharmacy ? Please explain.

It's not what is cool, it's what's best. Your son will definitely get a better education at Loyola and a degree from Loyola will give him many more options down the road. I got a law degree from Loyola and while it took me a long time to pay off the debt, I have reaped the benefits of that decision many fold over the course of my career. Pharmacy is a wonderful career choice and you should be proud of your son for pursuing it!
