Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Lasell College offers many appealing and intriguing courses designated to benefit your knowledge of your major. Also, the student to teacher ratio is roughly 15:1, so students get more attention in the classrooms.
Am enjoying being here When finding a school, one of the most important aspects is location. Lasell is located in the lovely town of Newton, ranking 4th in the safest cities in the USA. The campus is about a 10-15 minute walk from one side to the other. The dorms are comfortable and the student life is exciting. Athletic events are big, especially our basketball games, in which everyone gets dressed up in our college colors. Also, the T is a 5 minute walk from campus so you can always ride into Boston.
Bang for the buck In attending Lasell, you get a great education, great living conditions, a variety of athletic and extracurricular opportunities, a buffet every time you go to the cafe, constant social events (including, one of my favorites, dances), and great facilities like the gym, the library, and the campus center.
Tips for prospective students You should definitely visit any school you are interested in attending. For me, I was hooked the first time I visited Lasell. It's the perfect school for me. Perfect size, educational program, and especially the people.
Great for these types of students Lasell college is great for any type of student. Check it out for yourself!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The courses a very easy. All I do is read books and discuss them in class. Most of the teachers aren't even around much, they're all adjunct, so I can't reach them outside of class easily because they're always teaching somewhere else.
Am enjoying being here I've made some great friends here, and I definitely have a great time with them, but there isn't much to do on campus. We usually end up having to take the Green Line to Boston or just end up sitting around in our dorms. It's a nice area, Newton's a very safe and upscale town - but there isn't anything to do here. I'm involved in various clubs, but most of them overlap each other and it becomes difficult to get involved without feeling overwhelmed and stressed about it.
Bang for the buck Lasell gives a lot of scholarships and financial aid, so many don't have to pay full price, but the education here is just about the same level as any state school or community college which you could be paying much less for. I know I'm not getting my money's worth, which is why I plan to transfer.
Tips for prospective students This college is what you make for it. There aren't many opportunities presented to students - you need to go out there and find them. In order to get ahead and really get a lot out of this school, you need to go above and beyond the minimal requirements and search for some good opportunities to get involved, do well in school, find internships, and find jobs.
Great for these types of students This is a BIG fashion and athletic school, if you're interested in either this is a GREAT place to be. They have a huge fashion program with tons of opportunities, like fashion shows and designing clothes for classes. We have two gyms, multiple sports teams, and an amazing program for the sports majors. If you're into sports, we have a lot of school pride and our sports games are always filled up.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lasell is a great school for a student looking to join a community; being at Lasell you get to know most of the professors, faculty, staff, and students. It is a great school for those students who are self-motivated and want to excel in there field of choice. Lasell has its own unique learning style which sets students apart from the rest when finally being placed in their career of choice.
Tips for prospective students Lasell is a great school for students looking to be in a small community. We have a great campus that is very safe. If you have the time, you should attend a Lasell Day or schedule your own campus visit tailored to your needs and likes.
Academic Rigor Lasell has it own unique way of teaching. Classes can be very difficult. But with Lasell's focus on connected learning students set the bar for projects. Students create there own level of learning.
Dorm Life There are many different style and types of living arrangements on campus. Res Life staff try and make sure all students needs are met and that students feel comfortable and safe in the home. There are monthly floor events so residents can get to know one another.
Food and Dining Lasell does offer a variety of food offerings. But the menu does get repetitive throughout the year.
What to do for fun CAB and The Office of Student Actives does a great job of offering many different events for students to attend on campus. From local bands, speakers, comedians, and sports viewings to discounted tickets to sporting events, shows, and movies.
