Undergraduate focus (100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}), prof's main work is teaching and research is less important, good school, down-to-earth people, nice place. Expensive, though.

I have never felt unsafe at my school. I feel safe everywhere i go, and never worry about walking at night. however, i feel like my school is outrageously overpriced i i could get the same caliber education for much less. there are a million little expenses that you don't expect and the new editions of book are constantly required for class. there are few money saving options here.

I think what is so unique about Lafayette is the fact that is has such a great academic reputation and has still kept it's small family like atmosphere. It is an amazing experience to have such a close relationship with both faculty and students. I am receiving such a great advantage because the faculty truly acts as if the students are a part of their family.

Somethings I think are very unique about Lafayette is the small campus. Although at first I thought it would be an issue to go to such a small school it has become more of a blessing. I like going to a new class and being able to recognize friends faces. It makes the enviornment more comfortable and gives me a chance to find others to study with.
