Pronouns: she/her/hers

How do you describe a typical Lafayette student? Busy! They are so passionate about so many things – academics, extracurriculars, the community, and beyond!

Why did you choose to be part of the Lafayette community? I was looking for a college with both arts and sciences and the flexibility to study both at the same time. I also loved the school spirit that comes from being Division I and part of a historic rivalry, along with wide opportunities to study abroad. All that was wrapped up in a tight-knit community that cares about individuals. In high school that was how I knew where I wanted to go to college, and now it is easy to share my love for this place with prospective students.
