Good reviews

Really love La Roche College! It's exactly what everyone says, a small catholic college. If you don't like the idea of that then don't choose it. Great people at the school and Great Professors. Many clubs and really great experiences like the FREE study abroad/Study USA Program. So glad that I chose this school.

I love this campus with all of my being. La Roche has endless opportunities for students, IF THEY ARE WILLING. College is not a place to allow opportunities to come to you, you have to work for them. This campus is also right by several targets and other stores. Location is very safe for brand new college students and transfers alike.

Nearly every professor and faculty member want to see you succeed and will do anything to help you. Lots of close restaurants and things to do. Safe, quiet and small campus.

There are no activities for the students. The professors are horrible and the food is ridiculously nasty. I can't mention one great meal we done had. Some of the kitchen staff are disrespectful and public safety insist on giving out parking tickets when there is NO WHERE TO PARK! Why are we paying for parking with no spaces available ? Worse school

After transferring to a real school, I finally realized that la roche was a pretty terrible place to get a higher education. The "campus" is full of immature children. If I could relive my post-graduation decision, I would not have wasted the past two years there.

Horrible School 1010 would not recommend
Overall 1.8
The president is more concerned with herself than the students, faculty is rude, there is no wireless in the dorms, prices are outrages, and everybody goes home on weekends to get away from this hell hole of a catholic school. La Roche is so small, it's a joke. There are a few good professors but otherwise, it's like high school.
Overall 1.9
Very forceful with their politics. Not worth the tuition. Only good thing are the private bathrooms in the freshman dorms.
