Hi Justin,
I’ve been following this board for awhile (since I visited Lafayette last summer) and I’m seriously considering attending in the Fall. I was offered a Marquis scholarship, which makes Lafayette even more appealing. Currently, I’m trying to decide between Lafayette and Cornell. And since the schools are so different, I’m having a tough time with my decision. But, I thought that you may be able to answer some questions and give me your insight.

-How are the internship opportunities (I plan to major in Econ/Business)? Is it true that students actually do get internships in NYC?

-I’ve never been really interested in joining a frat, but after talking to people, it seems that it may be a good way to meet people, etc. Are there different stereotypes associated with specific frats?

-I’ve read in several places that Lafayette is fairly “preppy”. Do you find that there is enough diversity on campus and do the students tend to be multi-dimensional (by that, I mean…are they interested in things that go beyond being preppy?)

-And last but not least, do you ever get bored being in Easton?

I’ve always found your replies to be extremely helpful and I’m hoping you can provide some insight!
