Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Having a productive college experience on Lafayette's campus means that the students have to learn to get involved. Starting from the first week of class freshman year through the last days of Senior Week, Lafayette students have to learn to balance their academics with their social lives, jobs, and extracurricular activities. Nothing quite comes easy—almost everyone has to start from scratch, find a niche, build up a circle of friends, and pick and choose courses until they decide on a major. But the experience is wildly rewarding. While on campus, students get the opportunity to foster meaningful relationships with a plethora of people. Friends and floormates, co-workers and team members, professors and administrative staff—there are many connections to be made and sustained, many moments to cherish. 

While in school, Lafayette students might complain about the workload. The pressure to maintain grades while still being active in different clubs, sports teams, and/or organizations can be daunting at times. There are expectations to be met. Obstacles can come in the form of a challenging curriculum, failing relationships, and demanding professors. In spite of these challenges—or maybe because of them—Lafayette students learn to be well-adjusted, well-spoken, savvy young men and women by the time they graduate. Students leave campus knowing that they picked a place that challenged them intellectually and shaped them socially. At their five-year, 20-year, or 50-year reunion parties, Lafayette students will find familiar faces and relish memories.

Campus Dining at Lafayette College

English '13

5.0

A+

Listen to Students Needs

Lafayette has only 2,400 students on campus, yet has 5 fully functional dining facilities. Having so many choices for such a small school give a wide variety to eating options on campus.

Dining services also really listens to what the students want food-wise. If a student suggests a change then dining services makes it the next day.

People underestimate the value and hard work Lafayette puts into making sure the food is above average. Compared to many other schools, Lafayette is doing a fantastic job.

Easy to Enroll

There are no requirements to enroll in a major. You do not have to declare until second semester your freshman year and I think you can join any major you wish. There is no application necessary to declare.

Lafayette is a D1 school but the football team has not been so great lately. All the other different sports teams are great though.
