LaSalle University

Located in Philadelphia, but with a real campus-feel. Lovely old architecture. All students are required to take a first-semester Odyssey course, in which they learn the city.

Founded by Christian Brothers, who retain a large role in the campus community. They are dedicated to building the community around them and to bringing greater diversity to the campus, itself.

Population of 3,800 students with 35% being commuters. For those who choose to live on campus, housing is guaranteed for 4 years. Gender split is 6o% female to 40% male.

They pride themselves on their strong sense of community. Most classes are small, with no large lectures. Student to faculty ratio is 14:1.

Business majors and Nursing are especially strong. Speech Pathology and Digital Art majors are among the many offered.
