Health & Safety at Lafayette College

A

Absolutely Great

The campus safety patrol (also known as Public Safety), is very kind and helpful. I haven't had any extreme issues myself, but one occasion when my wallet was stolen at an event in one of the dorms, I called public safety, and they were quick to get me a new key, checkpoint, and told me where I could get another ID card. In other words, I would say they are both dedicated and knowledgeable. Our campus is lucky to have them.

Athletics at Lafayette College

B

A Lot of Fun

The sports are Lafayette aren't especially important to the overall campus life, but they do affect our campus in a positive and invigorating way. On average, most students have a neutral stance on sports, but I would say on certain occasions like Laf-Lehigh, then we are definitely more passionate. The sports games serve a great time for families and alumni, and watching football with my family is one of my favorite things to do. Overall, the sports at Lafayette don't have a big impact on the student body, but I would say that people enjoy themselves nonetheless.

Weather at Lafayette College

A

Pretty Much Amazing

I love the weather here at Lafayette. It is at its best in the fall, but we have a beautiful campus, and when the leaves are turning, you can see it in all its glory. The snow sometimes gets annoying, but the campus pretty good at de-icing it, so its not too bad. Overall, I would say that the weather is perfect at Lafayette. Not too cold, not too hot, but lots of fun.

Facilities at Lafayette College

A+

All Around Accessible

Lafayette's facilities tend to be both well constructed and highly accessible. I would recommend both the Skillman and Kirby libraries to anyone I know, because they contain both a wide amount of texts and are well kept and pristine. The student center is also very nice, and is host to a lot of our clubs and activities. I don't go to the gym as often as some, but they are also quite nice and well kept. Overall, our campus is amazing with great buildings and a general pleasant atmosphere.

Campus Housing at Lafayette College

B+

Pretty Good

Dorm life at Lafayette isn't the greatest, but I do like it a lot. Lafayette is well accommodating to people of all interests, and is host to freshman-only spaces, wellness dorms, special interest houses, fraternity and sorority housing and honors housing. We have everything from typical dorms to suite style housing. The facilities aren't always the best, but I would say that we are above average compared to most places.

Computers at Lafayette College

A-

Pretty Good

The computers at Lafayette College are available and functional. We have computer labs in the Skillman library, Farinon college center, Acopian Engineering Center, and in Marquis Hall. If you are in need of a computer, you are almost certain to find one available at the college. We are also allowed to print for free, and to be honest, you don't really need a personal computer here, as the Marquis Computer Lab is open 24/7, but most people have one here for personal or social reasons.
