Review of La Salle University

from Levittown, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

La Salle is a small, connected school with many opportunities available for all students in all programs. It provides a very motivational and inspirational environment for the students. The teachers and professors at La Salle truly care about the students success and do everything they can to help you as a student perform to the absolute best of your academic ability.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

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!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

This school is not easy. You must be a focused and driven student in La Salle. Although the work is rigorous, the professors and staff are always coming up with more ways to help you through it. For example, in classes that are historically very tough, the SI program is available. Each class that is voted necessary for this program has an SI leader and they schedule study times and classes to help you better understand the material you are learning in class. It is a huge help and they even come up with practice tests and finals before exam dates.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

As a commuter of La Salle I am not overly familiar with dorm life. I have seen the dorms and am friends with people who have lived on campus. As far as I hear and as far as I personally can tell, dorm life is great at La Salle. The dorms are clean, and the campus is set up very nice and accessible for commuter and dorm living students.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food and dining are also great at La Salle. For commuters, a food card is still available. As well as having a cafeteria that has many options available. There are vegetarian options as well as just simple healthy food options.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The campus is small itself, but there are many things available to the La Salle student. On campus there is a comedy club and dances and activities available. As well as having the easy access to go to downtown Philadelphia and experience center city also!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

La Salle is not a cheap school, but it is worth every penny. The opportunities that are available at La Salle and the percentage of successful careers that come from this school are proof that this school is definitely a band for the buck.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The security on and off campus is very important in the city and La Salle really takes this aspect of there community seriously. There is security booths on just about every corner of the streets surrounding La Salle as well as in all of the parking lots for students of La Salle.
