Why did you choose Lafayette?
I wanted a school that was close to home and that I felt welcome at. I didn’t want to go to school where I wouldn’t be a key member and part of the team. I enjoyed my visit. Everybody who I talked to was very welcoming and this was a plus seeing that I am a shy person.
