Lasell has given me so many opperunities. There are so many things on campus. We are so close to Boston which gives students the ability to do something every night. They also host so many great events on campus as well. There is always something fun to do. The professors are also amazing. They are so friendly and helpful.

There are so many things to do on the Lasell campus. There is never a dull moment. The food in the dining hall is great and the faculty and staff are amazing. The professors here want to see you understand the material rather than memorize stuff from a textbook.

I have absolutely loved my 4 years at Lasell University. I chose to get involved on campus as much as I could and develop great connections with my professors. This allowed me to excel both in the classroom and outside of the classroom. Lasell's professors truly want their students to succeed and are always available to help their students.
Overall 4.7
Lasell is the best community I have ever experienced before. My professors in the Education Department are so accomodating and insightful. Because of the small class sizes, I can really ensure that I am getting the most out of my classroom experience; if I don't understand something they are so willing to review it privately or with the class.

A small campus that I didn't even know existed until I started applying to schools but I'm so happy I chose to come here! The campus itself is beautiful, especially in the fall and spring. You make great relationships with your professors and classmates that help you exceed in and out of the classroom. There's always some type of event happening.

This school is a complete joke. No one takes the classes seriously. There is excessive partying that goes on, even in the dry building. The freshman dorm is a total disaster- the bathrooms are disgusting and no one takes care of the building. I found students who drank to be very loud and very violent. Police came several times a week to Woodland.

Lasell was a waste of time. It's overpriced and crappy. But it was a good place to get my GPA up and it's close to the T so I was able to work. The dean is terrible & doesn't care about the students. Food = terrible. Invest in a state college.

It is very boring and a lot of the teacher's don't seem to care about what their teaching or are not knowledgable about their subject to a great extent.

Don’t come here unless you want to feel like you’re in high school again. Lacks any social life.Class size is the only semi good thing since they are small and you are able to interact with professors.The dining hall is okay except when the food makes you sick. It’s a suitcase school so people go home every weekend and the campus is dead.
