At La Roche University you get the best of both worlds: a residential campus and big-city amenities.
With a town center across the street from campus, and a scenic county park in our backyard, La Roche is at the center of activity in our hometown of McCandless Township. The main attractions include McCandless Crossing, a new neighborhood and business district, and North Park of Allegheny County.
