La Salle's average class size is 20. No
class is largerthan 35. That means every
one of your teachers will know you by
name.
Thefreshman-to-sophomore retention
ratefor La Salle students isover85%.
That compares to a national average
of around 60%.
La Salle is located in Philadelphia, the
fifth largest city in the United States.
Whetheryouseekculturalopportunitiesor
historicalsites,socialopportunitiesorjust

theworld,therearefewplaceslikePhilly.
The New York Times, Barron's and
Money Magazine all selected La Salle
as one of the best buys in higher
education. That selection was based
on value received versus cost to the
family.
