My daughter rented a fridge/microwave combo freshman year - it was one less thing to pack! There are a couple of Marriott properties about 10-15 minutes from campus. I’d suggest you book early for parents’ weekend and move in day (if you need an overnight stay).
My daughter is a jr at Laf. We have been renting Airbnb’s for awhile now. Many of the homes on College Hill have third floor accomodations that are wonderful with two bedrooms and mini kitchens. I have my favorite, but sadly the owners have sold their property.
Is there a drinking/ party culture at Lafayette? I know I student died In 2017 after he drank too much , fell and hit his head and his dorm mates /friends didn’t seek help for a day. He died within a few weeks of getting on campus.
Do they have mandatory seminars about the dangers of underage drinking?
