Nightlife at La Roche College

Nightlife.

Well. While we do live on the edge of Pittsburgh, our campus tends to be a bit boring. It's a dry campus, although students tend to drink anyway. It's also difficult to get around without a car or knowing someone who has a car. Campus events are not always attended by students, so they tend to be a bit drab.

Health & Safety at La Roche College

Pretty Safe Atmosphere

La Roche College, due to its location in the suburbs of northern Pittsburgh, is pretty low-key when it comes to campus crime and security measures. The security guards can often be found smoking in the gazebo with the students at night, or just wandering around talking to people. This is to be expected though, when there isn't much "going on" around campus. Overall, I've never felt unsafe walking around on campus to and from classes, even in the evening times. The dorm buildings can only be accessed by swipe cards after business hours, as some offices are located on the second floor of dorm buildings.

The Food Is Horrible Most of the Time

The food is horrible most of the time here at La Roche College. The only two places to eat on campus is the Cafeteria and Redhawk Cafe, which serves as a take out Cafe for students not wanting cafeteria food or must run to class. Walking in the cafeteria at anytime of the day, you will see food that you've never seen or heard of before, since alot of cooks who work their are either lazy, bad cooks, or have pretty wild imaginations. The food is only good every so often, usually on a day when there are visitors on campus such as a prospective student visit day, other then that, the food is crappy, dull, or gross, and usually worse on weekends and less variaty then then there is on weekdays. Also the hours can be inconvient, especially on weekends. The Redhawk Cafe, on the other hand, has pretty good food. Not a big selection, but it is better then the cafeteria food. The only downside with the Cafe is that every so often, the wraps they make tend to get soggy and gross, and stomachs tend to not agree with it. Also, even though they are open all day on weekdays, they are not open on weekends and at times they tend to close randomly for unknown reason on weekdays. Your best shots at avoiding the food here, while not turning anorexic, is either buying and eating your own food, or leaving campus to go eat at a fast food place down the street.

I don’t think La Roche anticipated the growth of campus, so there isn’t adequate parking for the students.

The campus isn’t strict at all. They’re trying to crack down on drinking, but for the most part, it’s pretty laid-back.

The only thing kids here really do is drink. I think everyone’s used to that, though, so they just ignore us.

Campus security isn’t very strict on drinking at all. However, they have a notolerance policy for drugs, which they actually enforce.

The absence of fraternities and sororities might be why campus is so quiet on the weekends, but I like it that way.
