Creating a Common Bond
The members of Lafayette’s 185th class have come to campus from as far away as Mongolia. The 652 new students represent 35 states and 44 countries. Students have been sorted into one of five class commons – Victoire, Alliance, Hermione, Cadmus, and Brandywine – according to residence hall. The Connected Communities commons system provides students with strong connections to each other throughout the year with special events, speakers, and socials.
