Loyola University Maryland
4,202 full-time students in fall 2024 and college-controlled housing for 3,318: about 79 beds for every 100 full-time students. The other 884 live somewhere the college doesn't control. That is the outer edge of the private market, before you take out commuters and students living with family.
Enrollment
Of 4,897 students enrolled in fall 2024, 3,881 were undergraduates and 1,016 graduate students. 10% studied exclusively online, students who don't need a bed near campus. Headcount fell by 210 from fall 2023 (−4.1%).
Housing the college controls
IPEDS counts 3,318 beds of institutionally controlled housing for 2024-25. That figure is the school's own capacity, on or off campus, so it includes halls the college leases or manages but not private buildings that simply market to students. Capacity was the same in 2023-24.
What students pay
The typical 2024-25 housing charge for a student sharing a room was $12,330 for the academic year, roughly $1,370 a month spread over nine months. Food added $6,760. For aid purposes the school budgets $19,090 for food and housing on campus and $10,000 for a student living off campus away from family, $9,090 less.
Those are the college's own figures. Private by-the-bed rents near campus can sit well above or below them, so check current asking rents before you underwrite a project.
How lenders read a campus like this
At 4,897 students the campus is below the 10,000-student minimum in Fannie Mae's Multifamily Guide for Dedicated Student Housing (Part III, Chapter 1, section 103.01). Freddie Mac has no stated enrollment floor, but its own product summary says most of its student housing loans are at schools with 15,000 or more students. Banks, debt funds and conventional multifamily programs are the likelier lenders here.

IPEDS unit ID 163046. Baltimore City. School website. Figures are as the institution reported them to the National Center for Education Statistics. The live-on question asks whether every first-time, full-time student must live in college housing; a school with exemptions or a later-year requirement can answer no. How this data is built.
