frankur, Lafayette vs William & Mary was my decision “back in the day” as well! From my screen-name you can see which I chose.

Met my husband at Lafayette, and now our son is a senior there. Ironically, he almost didn’t go to Lafayette because we were both alum and he wanted his “own” place. I had to remind him that we live almost 300 miles away, and that his time there would be HIS time regardless of his parents’ past adventures. Our memories of our time at Lafayette are real and valid for us - but they really didn’t mean anything about his college experience, and once we would drop him off it would be HIS experience no matter what college he went to. In the end, he has truly enjoyed his 4 years there and is not looking forward to graduation.

OTOH, our daughter did not even apply to Lafayette - she didn’t feel it was right for her and I agreed (although H thought it was a good place for her). She is also very happy attending the college she chose. It’s all about what is right for each kid. Good luck to your daughter in making the decision that is right for her.

(PS - Of COURSE your daughter’s friend picked Lafayette over Lehigh… what a no-brainer )
