But the school's high cost, its indifferent, if not downright lazy professors, and monolithic student body (overwhelmingly white and suburban} made for a long four years. Maybe it has gotten better. But is Lafayette really worth $45,000 a year? Better you should buy a Lexus. Starting Job: teacher, Preparedness: C-, Reputation: B- Have a Question?

The professors almost always have time to meet with you, the content of the coursework is relevant, and academics all around are fine. Everything else however is just inexcusable. There is nothing to do in your free time but sit around in the dorms. The school has cracked down on partying, by placing all the frats on probation, which might not be a bad thing for everyone, but the school doesn't provide alternative activities for students to engage in. If you are interested in the athletics here, find a different school. I was on the cross country team here for two months before getting kicked off without being able to compete. The teams favor recruits ONLY. DON'T GO INTO TOWN AT NIGHT! You will be mugged and/or assaulted. If you like movies, too bad. The nearest movie theater is over 10 miles away. The food here is not so bad, but the meal plan is just far too expensive. Looking at the social scene, if you fit in perfectly back in high school where people were not so friendly, you'll have no problem making friends here, but if you are different from the "norm", or a bit awkward like me, then prepare to be alienated. This place is EXACTLY like high school where people stay with their groups, and make no effort to reach out and meet new people. 2/3s of the friends I made here suddenly started hating me second semester. The only way to have something to do here, is to know a lot of people. Well there you have it. My summary of why this school makes me unhappy. I can't wait to get out of here.

I would NEVER suggest any student come to Lafayette, and if you want more evidence of this jsut read the school paper online (archives opinion section) I have experienced professors who are demeaning and absolutely by far disrespectful...I have had one professor who disliked my research advisor so much as to accuse him of engaging in sexual relations with students and you can imagine the negative effects such lies can have on ones reputation (let alone rec letters you need to do something after leaving this place!) I have been disgusting by the school. The academics are a COMPLETE joke, you can get up an hour before any exam and get a B+ easy. The student body is extremely closed minded, and there is absolutely nothing to do in Easton Campus Aesthetics: B-, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
