Nestled in the College Hill neighborhood of Easton, Pa., is Lafayette College, a liberal arts institution. Easton is a small city about 60 miles from Philadelphia and 70 from New York City. One perk of living in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley: in warm months, learners can load up on fresh produce each Saturday at the Easton Farmer’s Market, billed as the nation’s oldest continuous open-air market. In the winter, learners can go skiing and snowboarding in the nearby Pocono Mountains. The campus has its own indoor rock-climbing wall and on-campus night club called The Spot for year-round fun. There are around 200 student organizations, including a popular Greek system of close to a dozen fraternities and sororities. Each fraternity and sorority has a house on campus for member learners. Freshmen must live on campus at the residential college, and so must sophomores, juniors and most seniors. About 70 seniors who apply to move off campus will be approved each year. The Lafayette Leopards participate in the NCAA Division I Patriot League, and the football team has a notorious rival with Lehigh University’s squad. learners kick off the year with the President’s Ball, a formal dance, and end the year with All-College Day, a campus-wide celebration with music and food. learners can grab a bite after, too, when faculty members serve them Midnight Breakfast.

The college newspaper, The Lafayette, is the oldest student-run publication in the state. Lafayette learners can study abroad for a semester, a year or even just a month – in January or May. The school’s interim programs, as the monthlong sessions are called, have taken learners to destinations like the Galapagos Islands, Bali and Egypt over school breaks. In addition, faculty members lead specialty study abroad trips in London and Costa Rica. Lafayette’s distinguished graduates include Ian Murray, founder of the Vineyard Vines clothing line; and Charles Bergstresser, a founder of Dow Jones & Company.
