Applying and wanted to know.

https://www.vote.org

hey, I’m currently a freshman at a nescac school (not saying which one) and I hate it. I’m looking to transferring to LC. I’m pretty sure I have around a 3.8 GPA considering I’m in 2 200 level classes as a freshman and I plan to take 5 classes next semester. I have one leadership role and I’m working on another. In highschool I had a 3.7, test optional, and I had various leadership roles in my community. Do you think I have a chance of getting in?

Hello! I’m planning to apply to Lafayette through Early Decision and, as an international student, I unfortunately can’t visit the campus in person. For those of you who are current students, I’d love to hear what made you choose Lafayette. What stood out to you, and how has your experience been so far? Thanks so much for any insights you can share!

I was hoping you guys could tell me if I have a chance of being accepted to Lafayette given my info. I am a junior who will likely end up with around a 3.63ish weighted academic gpa and am taking the SAT in June but have done well on the PSATs. My extra curricula’s are pretty good and include, President of a school club, employed at large jewelry store, founder of a company with significant revenue, various service projects, and various other less significant ecs. I am a white Jewish man from a private school In California with a high earning family.

hii I'm an international student interested in applying to Lafayette for engineering. How is the financial aid packages for internationals? Should I apply ED if I want significant aid?

Has anyone taken advantage of the  Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC), Lehigh University. Was Lafayette good about accepting the credits and how does it work with tuition?

I am a prospective Int applicant from South Asia! As Lafayette is a Need Aware college, How much of EFC do they expect or let's say they want students to have at least? I am planning with an EFC of 10-15k a year. What do you think?

Anyone selling a parking pass for today’s football game?

How is Kamine??

1. Is it all freshman?

2. Do freshman go to frats nearby?

3. What do I need to know about it if it is my freshman year dorm?

Ok so I really want to study abroad, but I have an expired passport. Ik it sounds stupid since I haven't even started classes yet. But I want to at least get my passport started because I'm sure many of you are familiar with how hard that process is. My genuine question is it worth it and is Switzerland a good place to study abroad?

I'm planning to ED Lafayette this fall as I really think the college is my fit. For the most part, I've only heard good things about Laf and most of the information I've found about it is positive.

However, I am aware that every college has it's downsides so I was hoping that any current students or alumni could share the worst parts about attending Lafayette so that I can have a more broad picture before committing to my application.

Anyone here have experience bringing their motorcycle to campus or know anyone that has? I’ve seen some motorcycles parked in various spots on campus, rarely taking up an actual parking spot. Can you get away with not registering for a parking pass? I can’t imagine they could reasonably require you to pay $500 to park somewhere that isn’t taking up a spot for a car.

Hi! I’m an incoming freshman and I need help with course registration. I received an email from a math advisor last week that I can take Math 263??😱

I’m planning on majoring either psych/neuro and I dont know if math 263 would be needed for graduation. My ultimate goal is med school. Could anyone give me an insight about the course? (both math 162 and 263, like class size, course rigor, assignment… etc) I would appreciate your help a lot!

Or just when they usually are? Before or after the Fall Break?

Hi! I'm a rising senior at a small, out-of-state high school & I would like to Lafayette for pre-med; however, my grades were really rocky in my sophomore year. Also, Common App opens in like a week, and I don't wanna waste time looking stupid by applying for a college I won't get into.

I have a 3.63uw, 4.8w (mainly As & Bs, but 2 Cs); done many extracurriculars; 1400 SAT score (retaking in August); and have great relationships with my teachers, so I should have decent rec letters. I also write fairly well, so my personal statement should be good. Do I have any chance of getting in, either EA or RD?

Also, would I enjoy attending Lafayette? I really want to go, but I've heard bad things about food & dorms.

I like lifting, I'm just kinda worried how busy the gym usually is. Is it bad?

Hi my name is cal I'm just trying to connect with people I'm a ln incoming freshman Snap:calpal833

Thank you for any/all responses in advance  🙏

1. I always heard that South was the "crazy party building," but now I'm hearing that Ruef (Where I'm staying) is even louder lol. Any thoughts?

2. Also, how full-out do people at Laf go on their room decor/design. I'm trying to get an idea before I under or overdo it.

3. How big do you guys buy your fridges?

4. Are the rooms clean before move-in? Or is it usually tough to clean it up before you set up all your things?

5. How are the showers? Is there a lot of calcium build up on the showerheads or mold on the tiles?

6. Do a lot of students bring their own headboards?

7. Do the rooms get a lot of sunlight?

8. Does the cleanliness vary by floor?

My roommate and I got assigned to ruef. Everyone on campus i’ve told so far seems to make a face when I tell them. Ppl never go into detail about and simply say “it’s not good” So what’s the inside scoop of things there? If it’s really as bad as people make it out to be, is it too late to switch?

My daughter and her roomie got assigned to Gates Hall. She wanted something quieter than Ruef and South. She heard it was quiet and well located, but are the rooms horribly old or unbearably small? We heard that AC is now in the dorm. How is the lounge? If you don't recommend this dorm, what would be good for her to switch to that is coed yet reasonably quiet? Thanks.

Is Lafayette worth the price, asking as someone majoring in economics + math, likely going to go into the actuarial or finance field. Will have to pay around 50k out of pocket but this is the best school I got into.
