Not to sound like a rank whore, but I'd drop Chapman out of this "race" if you have the option for any of the 3.
As far as Loyola v USD goes. I'm at USD and I absolutely LOVE it. Like Cal said GO BEARS! Wait, no, that's off topic. But he's right, USD isn't in the best of neighborhoods in SD, BUT the campus itself is SUPER Safe. There's a guard at the major entrances and there are campus police ALL OVER campus. Granted there's probably less than 5 cops actively roaming the campus at any one time, but the size and setup of the campus makes it so that 2 or 3 would be more than enough and they never stop driving around. Even at like 2 or 3 in the morning (and yes, I have been on campus during those times).
Climate, can't beat it and I've lived in LA, the bay area and SD now. SD by far has the best climate. Housing/area really depends on where you choose to live. San Diego isn't a huge community so you can find just about any kind of neighborhood within 15 min of the school. If you really want to stay close to campus, there are areas within 5 min of campus that aren't bad areas at all. Job placement, we got the market cornered in SD, but I'm not too sure about if you want to go outside of SD. Realistically, (as I was told by career services just last week), the avg. student graduating from USD makes about $75k starting and almost all at 2-25 lawyer firms. SD is a small legal community so there aren't that many huge firms for you to go into if you want to stay in SD anyways.
Loyola I don't know much about so I'll refrain from commenting too much. I just know the USD neighborhood is MUCH better than the Loyola neighborhood and it's a hell of a lot less prisony.
