Sure the party scene is not the best here, of course with the exception of Thursday nights. I personally don't party, but I hear of enough of them. Some of the professors are tough and some are way too easy, but either way, everyone that I had seemed to have cared about their students and their success in the class. Some of the other faculty members (student affairs, campus police, librarians, etc) can be rather rude at times. Just a heads up. Most of the students are pretty open minded and friendly though. If you are looking for a party school, don't come here. You will not like it. If you are looking for a decent education in a convenient and safe location, this is your school.

There are parties if you look for them. I prefer to be quite, and I find that easy to achieve as well. I just wanted to describe what I've found for people who are thinking about going here. It's small. The T isn't as close as it's advertised. Maybe like a 15 minute walk? The commuter rail and bus stops are closer, less than 10 minutes to walk. The dining hall food isn't amazing. I love pizza; the pizza here is good if you get it when they first bring it out. They usually have the same things to eat everyday, so you can try to get inventive (today for lunch I got a plate of fries and a bit of cheese sauce to have cheesy fries). The dessert in the dining hall is usaully quite tasty. I like almost all my classes, but the workload isn't tough (not something I mind, personally). There's a decent amount of clubs, i've joined 3 of them and enjoy going to the meetings. Some people said it was hard to find jobs, but I checked the lasell website a lot when I first arrived and got a job fairly easily, and I love it. Warning for people who want to come here: Some have called it a "suitcase school". This means everyone goes home every weekend. This isn't completely true, I know poeple who haven't yet left ( thanksgiving break is next week) and they have awesome times at parties over the weekends. I usually go home every other weekend. Also, It takes sometime getting into the boston. The T is annoying, and takes a long time. My sister lives in Boston and I grew up near by so I already knew this before I got here. The bus is faster and cheaper. I'm a graphic design major and I enjoy it very much. The teachers made it extremely easy people in my major to plan a schedule. They also have to computer labs, one with macs and one with pcs, these are quite nice. I live in the crummy freshman dorm (woodland). Upside: Meeting people, it's all freshman. The rooms are also HUGE. Downside: The bathrooms are gross (especially biys i've heard) and it can get a little noisy. and It's all triples (but the rooms are still but despite this). I've heard nothing but good things about the dorms you get after freshman year, especially the houses on campus.uhhhh yeahhh, your welcome for the novel I just wrote. And I'm too lazy to spell check.

On the exterior, the dorms might not be the best and a fraction of the students here really aren't the brightest (a lot of people get in- some that I question the legitimacy of, I'll be honest) but all in all this is a great place to be. The professors are wonderful, classes are small and I feel like I'm learning. It's not entirely challenging, but who wants to be in a school where they're being overwhelmed with mind-boggling courses?Bottom line: see as much of the campus as you can. Understand that it is a bit of a party school (especially woodland hall- beware to all freshman who do not party. If you end up in woodland, do your best to switch OUT) but all in all Lasell has many opportunities. As my peers and I all agree upon, Lasell College is what you make of it. If you're a typically negative person, your experience will be terrible. If you're outgoing and interested in the campus, you'll enjoy it and certainly have the time of your life.
