Things to Consider
Lafayette College
- 1 CRITICAL: No marketing major available - only Economics with concentrations. This is a significant mismatch for primary academic interest in Marketing/Business
- 2 Location does NOT meet urban/near city preference - Easton is small town 70+ miles from Philadelphia/NYC, requiring 90+ minute commute
- 3 Limited sunshine (200 days) with cold, snowy winters - does not align with 'loves sunshine' preference
- 4 No dedicated business major or pre-physical therapy program - would require alternative pathways
- 5 Greek life at 30-35% may be more influential than preferred, though alternatives exist
