Hi guys, I've been looking at different campuses and La Salle University caught my interest. Can anyone who is currently attending or has visited the school give me a brief overview of what the campus's layout and facilities are like? Any details would be appreciated!
La Salle University is located in a residential neighborhood of Northwest Philadelphia, making the campus both urban but also with easy access to quieter residential areas. The campus is approximately 130 acres and is well-known for its beautiful, park-like setting, thus it's not too large to easily navigate but provides ample space and green areas to enjoy.
Within the campus, you'll find diverse architectural styles, from modern to more traditional buildings. Some of the more iconic facilities include Olney Hall, home to various academic departments, and Connelly Library, a central hub for students which offers a pretty comprehensive collection, study zones, and technology resources.
The university also has a newly renovated Union Building, which hosts many of the student organizations and campus life activities. Here, you can find the dining hall, student government offices, coffee shop, and a wide array of meeting spaces to work and socialize.
If sports and recreation are important to you, La Salle has some great athletic facilities. The university has numerous sports fields and the IBC Fitness Center, a recently updated gym with weight and cardio rooms, a climbing wall, and even a meditation space.
Another aspect that students seem to appreciate is the fact that housing is guaranteed for all four years of attendance. There are a few different residential halls spread throughout the campus, providing traditional dormitory-style rooms, suites, and apartments.
In the surrounding area of the campus, you'll find local shops, eateries, parks, and cultural spots, enhancing the overall student experience beyond just the campus grounds. I hope this gives you a general sense of what La Salle's campus and facilities have to offer!
