Based on WHAT does he think students at Lafayette don’t care about learning? because there not all engineers? Lafayette is a very good school. It’s interesting because it’s really more like a Liberal Arts College but which also has an engineering school… a rare combo. The male/female ratio is much better than WPI, and the diversity of the students (wrt to majors, not race… liberal arts and techie majors) would make the experience more interesting IMO. </p>
<p>If anything I’d bet WPI has more slackers given there “no-fail” policy for grading.</p>
<p>WPI is a good school, if that’s what you want then go there, no need to justify it by denegrating Laf.</p>
