Academics

“I’ll admit that although most of the professors are very intelligent, some do not hold very interesting classes. However, I have found that there are numerous professors, like in the art and American studies departments, that have influenced a lot of...”

Diversity

“In three words, ‘Caucasians in Abercrombie’ seems to be the makeup of the school. There is diversity, and I think the school is moving towards increasing it, but Abercrombie leads the scene nonetheless.”

Academics

Every April and October, a little four-page newsletter arrives in every Lafayette student’s mailbox. It’s the course offerings for the upcoming semester, and oftentimes, it is put away in the back of a dorm room desk or closet.

Black students tend to stay with other black students, white...

Guys & Girls

Lafayette College can definitely be considered somewhat of a “meat market.” Not only are the academic buildings and facilities aesthetically pleasing, but the students who attend are equally beautiful. People should come to Lafayette expecting that they will be somewhat intimidated by the opposite sex at first (actually, even members of your own sex can be quite intimidating). The men wear Abercrombie or North Face; the women look like they just stepped out of a Prada ad. Girls and guys here know how to...

Athletics

Sports at Lafayette are a funny thing. We are in the Patriot League competing with Lehigh, Holy Cross, Colgate, Army, Navy, Bucknell, and others. Varsity sports are popular; basketball, football, field hockey, and lacrosse are the largest teams, but lack much student attendance for home games. Football has been a Lafayette staple for almost 150 years, and our rivalry with Lehigh, the oldest in collegiate history, is perpetuated each late-November with the Lafayette-Lehigh game. On this rivalry weekend,...
