Great school with an amazing faculty. Campus is also nice, plus it's not extremely big so it's easy to get around.

La Salle was never my first choice, but they give out lots of scholarships. I actually ended up loving it. It's a great place and the professors there really do care about you. It's easy to get around and overall, I had a great experience!

Great school all around

La Salle is a family school, the people you meet will truly be in your life forever. If I was going back to choosing a school all over again, I wouldn't even consider any other schools. The professors are great willing to help you at the drop of a hat. The christian brothers become your friend to have breakfast with.The campus, always beautiful!

Overall 4.2
I spent all four years at La Salle and really enjoyed my time here! The faculty are wonderful and want you to succeed in and out of the class room. The union and other facilities off a wide range of dining options. The courses offered are really insightful and engaging.
Overall 4.1
The professors are available whenever you need; class size is ideal to get individual attention and to meet friends who will last a lifetime. It is close enough to center city if you want to go there, but far enough away if you want to avoid the crowds. The current president of the university is incompetent!

This school is virtually terrible. I hate it here so much I am transferring after 1 semester. The students here a somewhat nice but when it comes to the office workers (Financial Aid and Housing) and the professors they a honestly rude, not helpful or understanding. Dont be fooled! Like you're LaSalle not freaking Villanova... cocky for no reason!

Ok school really easy

Over priced for no reason
Overall 1.4
There are armed robberies nearly every week. The living conditions on campus are gross and overpriced. The dining halls are also gross and overpriced. Don't even bother living off campus either because that is where most of the crimes occur. You can find much better schools for a similar cost elsewhere.
Overall 1.7
this is not as good as you think
Overall 1.8
Lasalle's campus is one of the worst campuses out of the 4 universities I've been to. I wouldn't even really call it a campus since it's just on a main road. Overall I'm counting down the days till this semester is over. Don't ever waste your time coming to this school.
