Lafayette is much more than a college. We are an educational connected community – diverse, welcoming and active. Almost all students live on campus, where they enjoy an amazing array of social, cultural, artistic, and athletic activities.
Form personal connections, explore individual interests, develop leadership skills, and engage with a community that begins on campus and extends far past it. Make new friends, enjoy transformative experiences, and challenge yourself in an environment built on trust, respect, and opportunity.
Lafayette is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, diverse and inclusive educational living community where academic success and personal growth are encouraged. We aspire to create communities in which students are able to reach their fullest potential.
“My time at Lafayette has taught me patience and has allowed me to grow into the person I am . . . I was challenged here in both athletics and academics, and learned and grew from that. I also became more independent and more confident in myself, which I think is going to really help me in the future.”
“I’m forever grateful for the support system I’ve received. The Lafayette community has really embraced athletes, and my professors have been so gracious with their time and flexibility.”
Studies show that students who are involved in activities outside the classroom—in clubs, athletics, the arts, and volunteering—as well as engaged in the classroom, are happier and more successful in college. Lafayette boasts more than 200 opportunities to get involved and if you can’t find something that interests you, you can start your own club.
Lafayette has many traditions shaped by our students like you, our history, our city and by our community. You’ll see some of the unique moments and opportunities that awaits.
Whether it’s tutoring local children in math or helping villagers in Honduras build a clean water system, Lafayette students are passionate about making a difference in the Easton community and around the globe.
