Academic Buildings
I love the fact that at Lafayette a lot of the departments have their own academic buildings or share it with only one or two similar departments. This means that a lot of the departments have their own distinct feel as a result of their own building, classrooms, faculty, and students. You really feel as though you've entered into a community atmosphere when you are interested in a department. This has at least been the case for me in the humanities and social sciences departments in which I have taken classes.

Creative and Performing Arts Fellowship
This was definitely the deciding factor for me when I was looking at colleges. The Creative and Performing Arts Fellowship (CaPA) is a new program (as of about 2010), into which up to ten incoming students are invited each year. The student must have a creative or performing art, such as music, dance, art, creative writing, etc. The fellowship offers money for the student to use for their art, as well as a place for artists to discuss their projects and to meet other professional artists brought on campus. This is Lafayette's conscious effort to highlight the artistic talents of its students on campus.
