<p>I am a parent of a recent graduate of Lafayette. He was not in engineering so I cant say anything first or even second hand about engineering but I can tell you some of the positives that I saw in the college over the four years that he was there.</p>
<p>I liked the location. Being within an hour and a half from NYC and Philadelphia was a big plus. Although he only did it once, the school had a trip to NYC in December that sounded like a lot of fun. He also had classes that took advantage of the larger cities with trips or internship possibilities. The city of Easton seemed to add a number of restaurants over the four years that we visited. </p>
<p>His friends, including several in engineering, seemed to have no trouble finding research or internship positions during the school year or summer.</p>
<p>Study abroad was an important part of my son’s college experience and Laf makes that possible for engineering majors. </p>
<p>I know that there is a large amount of partying but there are also a lot of non-party activities advertised. I obviously don’t know how the activities are first hand but there seemed to be a lot avail able. </p>
<p>That is just a start. The friends that he made over the four years at Laf were definitely the best part of his experience.</p>
