Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Anthropology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright My experience as an Anthropology major will differ from that of an engineer's (they have it WAY worse), but if you're looking for a place with dedicated, appoachable, energetic and engaging professors (at least in the anthro/soc. department) that provide manageable, valuable work, then Lafayette is a great choice. That being said, if you're looking for the fun, typical college experience, go somewhere else. ANYWHERE ELSE. I am member of the Greek community--which, yes, is necessary if you want any kind of social life at all--and I still say this place sucks. It might be the small campus size, or the buzzkill campus police, but parties here are essentially mediocre highschool gatherings you thought you'd never see again. It's like four years of dating an ex-girlfriend, only the ex girlfriend constantly leads you on at night and then gives you blue balls. It's basically four years of party blue balls. The idea of fun here is pretty lame; parties last about four hours (2 am at the latest) and tend to be hosted by either the greeks or the sports clubs, so you have to have an "in" or be involved in them to even know they exist. Forget about wandering the campus on a friday night knowing you'll be able to sniff out a party in twenty minutes. To attend a good party, or even just a party at that, you either have to be a greek, a freshman girl, a member of a sports team, or go to some lame dorm room party that will most likely be a gigantic waste of your evening. Oh, and you'll be partying with the same people all the time. Speaking of which, the greek system is really laid back, but hugely hierarchical, so get used to the fraternities wanting to party with delta gamma, pi phi, and kappa kappa gamma all the time. If I could describe the student body in fewer than ten words, the vocabulary "flavorless, closed-minded, artificial, suburban high school children" would probably be the most appropriate. That's 7 words. Oh, and identical. 8. However, they tour great here--it'll always be sunny when you decide to come exploring as a wide-eyed, hopeful, parent accompanied perspective, and you'll most likely spot all ten of the campus' black students.

It may be due to the size but I am a junior and I am sick of seeing the same people do the same things all the time. Just gets boring. Classes are ok but for the money you would think they would be more energetic. Facilities are giid and that is probably the best thing about this place.

I figured if I keep myself busy enough, I wouldn't have time to think about whether I like it here or not. That being said, not even I could prepare myself for how horrible this place is. Not only is the schoolwork not challenging, but there is nothing to do for fun. My free time is spent in thought about how much I hate it here. Lafayette's idea of "fun" is lectures about society and abstract concepts nobody cares about. Lecture on a non-profit organization that makes paper cranes to end world hunger in Africa, anyone? I tried making new friends, but I despise the population so much I refuse to associate with them. All they do is drink (because there's nothing else to do). In the classroom, they're the overly-participative teachers' pets you hated so much in high school. It's hard to find people with similar interests when every other student is international.I'm sure people can make the college work if you like to party, but if you're an antisocial teetotaller like me, you're in for a loooong 4 years.
