Lafayette College is a small private liberal‑arts college in Easton, Pennsylvania, known for strong programs in economics, political science, engineering, biology, neuroscience, and the liberal arts plus a tight‑knit, residential campus and Division I athletics. Students often rave about the small‑class sizes, supportive faculty, 200‑plus student‑organizations and clubs, and a scenic, College‑Hill‑on‑the‑Delaware‑River setting that feels like a close‑knit community rather than a big‑state‑school.
Common Majors
economics, political science, mechanical and civil engineering, biology
“I love Lafayette’s small‑town, residential‑college vibe, how easy it is to get involved in clubs and almost everyone lives on campus, and the way classes feel like real conversations, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the tight social circle, limited nightlife off campus, and the way the ‘work hard, play hard’ culture can feel all‑consuming were all heavier than the glossy tour ever let on.”
