The transfer experience

LPEP, Andrew Building, and block sections – for most Lasallians, these three could sum up their frosh year in La Salle. For transfer students, however, it’s a different story. Life in the university is arguably more challenging with the lack of frosh essentials, which many students deem necessary to survive the start of their Taft…

Stories behind the stations

Picture this: it’s rush hour. Standing in the crowded coach with the heat searing your insides, your sweat dripping and your will being tested, you look out the window and see a yellow sign, visibly showing its age. It reads “Doroteo Jose,” and the first thing you think is, “Aaargh, still 6 more stations to…
