Student Life & Environment

Student life includes organized cultural, sporting, social-service and personal-development activities. For undergraduate students, the university’s August 2026 guidance describes 12 formation programs across the degree: three cultural, three sporting, three social and three personal-development activities. Some named workshops are compulsory, while participation in representative sports, cultural, missionary and student-leadership groups can count toward part of the requirement. Students should verify how these rules apply to their specific curriculum and entry cohort. Campus facilities support both study and recreation. The university lists auditoriums, a theatre, multipurpose rooms, computer rooms, specialized laboratories and wireless internet. Sporting facilities include football, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, a wood-floor gymnasium, weights facilities and a swimming pool. Food and retail services are also available on campus, although offerings can change. The university provides orientation, tutoring and psychological support through its student-development structure. Its student-life page describes academic tutors, psychologists providing emotional and educational guidance, and first-year plan-of-life support. Social programs connect participants with organizations and communities, reflecting the institution’s service-oriented identity. Housing should be investigated independently before enrollment. A university exchange guide has described accommodation options in the past, but no sufficiently current 2026/27 housing terms, availability or prices were verified. Students relocating to Mexico City should request current housing guidance and assess commute time to the unit where their program is actually delivered.

Location & Surroundings

The main university facilities are in Condesa, a central Mexico City neighborhood. The official campus page gives the principal address as Benjamín Franklin 45, Colonia Condesa, Alcaldía Cuauhtémoc, postal code 06140. The university describes the main units as accessible by Metro, Metrobús and Ecobici, which can be useful for students commuting without a car. Not every program or activity is based at the central site. The university also lists Santa Teresa at Camino a Santa Teresa 811 and San Fernando at Avenida de las Fuentes 17, both in Tlalpan, plus Santa Lucía on Avenida Tamaulipas in Álvaro Obregón. These locations are separated across a large metropolitan area, so travel time can be a significant part of daily planning. Health-related programs identified in the 2026 mobility material are concentrated at Santa Teresa. Prospective students should confirm the exact unit for classes, laboratories, clinical activities and administrative services before choosing accommodation. Condesa provides a dense urban setting with extensive public transport and nearby services, whereas the southern units create different commuting patterns. No single campus description should be assumed to apply to every degree.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Universidad La Salle does not publish one universal tuition figure applicable to every student. Charges vary by program, intake and academic load, and applicants should request the official fee circular for their exact degree and semester. One official February–July 2026 circular for first-semester Preschool Education listed a MXN 6,806 initial payment plus four MXN 6,806 tuition payments, before third-party insurance-related charges. This is a program-specific illustration only and must not be treated as the price of other degrees or later cycles. The university publishes several scholarship routes with different eligibility rules. Examples include continuity awards for graduates of Lasallian institutions, family-support scholarships, direct-entry awards, employer-agreement benefits, and competitive institutional or SEP scholarship calls. Published percentages and minimum averages vary by award, level and program, while exclusions apply in some cases. An application does not guarantee funding. Students should check the current call, whether support covers tuition only or also the initial payment, and whether awards can be combined. Students should budget separately for insurance-related charges, books, transportation, housing and any program-specific materials. No current comprehensive 2026/27 living-cost estimate or institution-wide international tuition schedule was verified. For career preparation, the university operates an employment portal for students and alumni with internship and job vacancies. Its career service also advertises recruitment events, faculty-specific vacancy channels, professional-development events and help validating an independently found internship company. These services provide access to opportunities but do not establish any particular employment rate, salary or placement outcome; no current outcomes data were verified.
