This is a super pretty school. It's 1.5 hour drive to NYC. The faculty here is fantastic. Clubs are nice. Small school but people know each other. If you want to feel like a small but strong community, Lafayette fits you.

I have never felt unsafe. College Hill, where the university is, is a great location and the campus is so beautiful! There are plenty of sororities and frats to chose from, local coffee shops and bars and stores that you can walk to. All of the profs are knowledgeable and most are cool! The arts building is located down a big hill.
