This is one of the worst colleges in the United States and I highly wouldn't recommend coming here . The social work department is very disorganized, corrupt,and is a very hostile ,and negative academic environment at this college . Janine Mariscotti is an absolutely terrible professor . She allows and tolerates bullying in her classes and is also very unprofessional ,rude ,and nasty . Myself along with other male social work students have been repeatedly harassed and bullied by many of the female students who just so happen to make up a majority of her classes.These include Dorothea Cox also know as Dot , Sara Easquarello , Brianna Royal, and Kathy Aikens . Many of these female students have a proclivity for telling lies and fallacies about the male students in the social work program and filing false reports .They were reported by other male students to Karen Zenilman and Amanda Guthorn and nothing was done because these women who should be terminated from their positions flagrantly discriminate against male students . This pathetic excuse for a college should be shut down . This is a Roman Catholic institution ,so they are able to infringe on your rights as a student more so than a traditional public college/university . I wouldn't recommend this college to my worst enemy . I just thought that I would warn the google community about...
Read moreI ended up suing this school where it was not even a shame to them that I( a student) appeared in court myself to argue for my rights with their lawyer. My financial aid was mishandled-reversed ILLEGITIMATELY to create unnecessary problems for me by their negligent insecure director and the gossip of others. If you want a school where your aid will be mishandled for you to end up in court wasting your time FIGHTING THEIR NEGLIGENCE, then go to La Salle.
I have been to many schools but I would not call this a "school" or a " university" at all. If you want a school that upholds the laws of this country and your educational rights, a school that will examine their own errors and take responsibility, then turn to SOMEWHERE ELSE!
You don't want to deal with La Salle financial aid and their STUFF.
BE CAREFUL, because they are " private catholic," a lot of law does not apply to them. That means they can mess around with your education and rights and you would have no remedy at all.
Now, that is just one.... a lot of injustices in this school. I...
Read moreTook very long to look at my application, I had to contact them after a month in a half and got told the admissions staff were on vacation. This caused me to start school late and gave me little time to prepare for the semester. I was also unable to register for classes giving me a very strange schedule. When I tried to register before classes started I was unable despite reaching out for assistance.Tried to charge me late fees despite them not processing my grant. The Financial aid department were not helpful. If you are struggling financially the first and last thing they will tell you is to take a big loan out before even attempting to give alternatives.The Teachers are strange and not very helpful in my opinion. The math class requires a 70 to 100 dollar program to even do the course. This school is also in a weird part of north Philadelphia. Too expensive (20k) for how small it is....
