Off-Campus Dining at Lafayette College

A+

Good but Expensive

Campus Pizza has amazing pizza but is really expensive. It's also a wonderful hangout spot that's literally across the street from campus and a lot of athletes hang out there in the evenings and sororities like to have parties there with karaoke sometimes. Wok 'n Roll has great Chinese food but for delivery you have to be willing to spend at least 15 bucks, and for a college student it's not too wise to do it more than once in a long while. On-campus food can get tiring (but is greeat!) so off-campus dining is good just to mix it up a little, after a while.

Weather at Lafayette College

C

RAINNN Smh

It can rain about ten times a day in the fall. No exaggeration. And it's terrible trying to walk across campus in the rainy weather, with the muddy lawns and wet sloping sidewalks/paths/stairs. But when it's sunny, it's BEAUTIFUL, that's for sure. Also it gets colder than other parts of Pennsylvania and the other places in the tri-state area, but it's not unbearable.

Art

There are a lot of opportunities to go to galleries and exhibitions in Easton and the greater Lehigh Valley area, as well as New York. I love all of my art classes especially my art history class - Professor Sinkevic is amazing, and has an amazing interest in what she teaches. The facilities are quite good; the Visual Arts Building for studio classes is wonderful and quite big, and the Arts Center has a nice but small gallery. The staff in the art department are also VERY helpful and have a lot of experience in their fields.

Campus Dining at Lafayette College

A-

Great, Not Much to Complain About Unless You're an International Student (You'll Get Homesick for Food!)

It helps to try new things out on the menus. There's a lot of variety at Gilbert's and at Lower Farinon. Once in a long while it might be a good idea to get something from off-campus, like Chinese, or Papa John's, or something from Campus Pizza (everything of theirs is soo good! and moderately to expensively priced). But the food on campus is great. Upper Farinon (all-you-can-eat) has really bad food, but Lower is great. Especially when you try new stuff on the menu. And so is Simon's! They make late-night sandwiches that are more like subs. Marquis (found in a dorm, all-you-can-eat) can be really terrible. But their pizza and pasta are amaazing.
