Honestly the school is okay but I wish I could go back in time a pick a different place. While the school is pretty (sorta) and the people aren't too bad, the programs don't add up to much. Out of every person I have ever spoken to, only one had La Salle as their first choice. This school hands you tons of money which is honestly why I'm here, but I'll most likely be transferring (fingers crossed). There may be some good teachers but of the class I took only two of them stood out and showed how they actually cared. If you are considering this school please think more carefully that this is really what you want!
Review La Salle University
From my experience, this school is lovely. The small classroom sizes allow for your professors to really get to know you and care about your wellbeing.
I'm on a sports team and it's okay. I transferred from a more established sports program at another college, so the transition to a less established team is difficult for me. From my knowledge, our other sports teams are okay at La Salle.
Apparently, the North dorms are disgusting and filled with cockroaches. Luckily, I immediately moved off campus when I transferred.
Overall, I love it here. I am happy with my choice.
Out of my five semesters at LaSalle, thus far i have only encounters two unfair and unruly teachers that played on their tenure benefits. Otherwise, every teacher is honest, laid-back and very open about what is expected. They are resourceful and make you feel like they care. Often times, i remain social with my teachers after a course because the student-professor relationship at lasalle is great!
