Student review [#214]
at La Salle U.R.L.

Avoid this university at all costs.
It is the opposite of what a faculty of architecture should be.
The main indicator is that the direction of this school remains the same since it began.
Today is entrenched in forming a profile of an expired architect.
Without ideas of how to face the future of the profession, the school has been sinking little by little to what it is today, a gray, moldy and quite lugubrious place.

Although it is academically demanding, it does not form a critical mass, it does not reward experimentation, nor does it cultivate curiosity, basic for the training of an architect.
In a world where the profession is in deep crisis and where new technologies and tools have been democratized, it is as if this school is not part of this world. To put it simply, it is anachronistic.

It is a private university, economically run by a religious order that controls the power of decision. This means that any glimpse of a renewal initiative is seen only as a cost that can not be assumed. It is a private business, where the student does not participate actively in modeling their training.
Perfect individuals are formed for a technocracy.

If you are good at following rules and going through hoops without asking much, this is your school.
If you are one of those who believe that you learn more deeply questioning everything, avoid it.

Surprise would give the school live five more years.
