[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread moved on from OP's question about Lafayette a long time ago, but i consider Lafayette's location in Easton a plus.   Easton  is increasingly charming, growing, a decent size (30K people), walkable from Lafayette, and fairly safe (lower crime rate than PA and the national average).   As part of the third largest metro area in PA (bigger than say Charleston or Savannah or Portland ME), and one of the most prosperous parts of PA (outside Philly, Pburgh and the capital), it offers access to virtually everything a student might reasonably need or want (but sorry DCUM, no Vuitton).   And it's just a 90 bus to Manhattan or Philly, and a short drive to the Jersey shore or the Poconos.

Compared to colleges located in small towns of a few thousand (and one pizzeria), or a 3+ hour drive from the nearest metro area -- which would include Bucknell and quite a few NESCACs -- I'd consider Lafayette's location a lot better.   Don't be dissuaded by DCUM's reflexive dislike of anyplace that's older than Mosaic or Pike and Rose. [/quote]

Williamstown is a rough place to spend 4 years lol - but there are 2 pizzerias![/quote]
