What Students Are Saying

Don't come into college thinking it is going to be just like high school, because its not. There is way more studying that will have to be done to pass college exams, and a lot more reading. College is an experience that you will never forget, and you should do everything you can to make it worth your while, study study study! keep that gap up.
Shaquanna from Tobyhanna, PA
Be ready to work and focus.
Connor from York, PA
Study hard while maintaining a balanced social life. Try not to overwork yourself; however, slacking is not an option at this university. Great challenges await you, but they are achievable with a strong work ethic. And definitely make your professors your new best friends.
Mariel from Warminster, PA
I would tell prospective student to keep and open mind. Although La Salle does not appear to be in the best of areas, it has more to offer than what is seen at first glance. Basically, don't judge the book by its cover! La Salle gives it students such a sense of community and belonging and offers many opportunities for success in college as well as in our future careers. I often view La Salle as one of Philadelphia's hidden gems; it is something special hidden in the outskirts of Center City Philadelphia.
Alyson from Merrimack, NH
Get financial aid together, email faculty with questions, if you live in the area consider sommuting.
Jasmin from Philadelphia, PA
La Salle can help guide you in the correct path for your future. I entered La Salle not knowing who I want to become or what I want to do. Taking classes that interested me and talking with an adviser helped me pick my major and my career field.
Christina from Philadelphia, PA
Talk to your teachers. They are willing to form relationships with you and will go out of their way to help you. All you have to do is open that door. Ask a lot of questions and do not hesitate to e-mail or contact teachers. Also, the campus is small so don't stress about scheduling classes too close together. You can make it anywhere on that campus in a 10 minute maximum. Also, take advantage of all the opportunities that La Salle has available. They have a great study abroad program, as well as many different speakers on all sorts of topics come in and have open discussion just to help open your mind on new things. Don'e be afraid to jump in and discover new things! La Salle has many waiting for you!
