Lassonde is a college students dream. Being able to be apart of such an amazing community of entrepreneurs has already been one of the best experiences I’ve had at the U, here is why!
1. Location, Location, Location
Lassonde couldn’t be in a better location. It is a 4 minute walk to the Union (yes, I timed it), and almost just as close to the Library.
2. Being able to live with people who have similar interests
Lassonde has 4 resident floors, each floor has a different theme.
3. Getting the resources you need to create a company in college without paying extra
Yeah, your rent and tuition covers this. Everything you need to design a product and build a prototype are just a few floors away.
4.The Food
Usually when you think of dorms you think of the HC, but Lassonde offers a unique cafe where residents (and those with flex dollars) can grab breakfast, lunch, or a late night snack!
5. Parking Everywhere
And fewer tickets! Lassonde residents have one of the biggest parking lots on campus at their disposal.
6. Collaborative Space
The building was designed with groups in mind, making it very easy to find a space where you and all your friends can work on homework and projects.
7. Workshops and Events
Being able to attend workshops and events in your building that can directly help with your major is a nice bonus.
8. The Balcony on the Second Floor
Who doesn’t love this?
9. The Coffee
Locally rosted medium and dark roast that helps you jumpstart your day! (Bring your own mug and it is only $1.50)
10. The Harambe Memorial Board on the 5th Floor
Gone but not forgotten.
