The Greek life I have a problem with. The living in a dorm I find okay. The narrator said that it deprives you of having a real world experience of living. Listen sweetie, you will spend THE REST OF YOUR LIFE having real world living experience! What's the rush? Plus, you are safer in a dorm than apartment.
I graduated from Lafayette College in 1989. Wonderful small, second tier college. Great opportunity to participate in college athletics and springboard for obtaining graduate degrees. Very expensive. Smaller than many high schools in Pennsylvania. Options include: Colgate, F & M, Bucknell, Allegheny, Hamilton, Colby, Union. Very similar options in second tier schools. Proximity to Philadelphia and NYC was fantastic. Beach in the summer in NJ.
Colgate is not a "second-tier" school. Its current admissions rate is 12%. Lafayette's admissions website says its own admissions rate is currently 36%. That is a very large difference in selectivity. Hamilton's admissions rate is pretty close to Colgate's, and it may even be lower, as is true of Colby. None of these three schools could accurately be called "second-tier" unless you consider only the Ivies and a few others as the only top-tier schools. But that is far too narrow and would result in at least a dozen "tiers" -- Top 1%, Top 2%, Top 5%, and so on, and that is slicing the loaf ridiculously thin all the way down. There are over 1,000 good to excellent colleges and universities in the U.S., so Top Tier is the Top 5% which is about 30-50 colleges and universities, the schools which take the top 5% (or so) of students, have the highest academic standards and the lowest admissions rates, and that group includes Colgate, Hamilton, and Colby -- but not the others.
Lafayette was Greek dominated when I went there 25 years ago. That's probably the case at many small liberal arts colleges with a Greek system. At least Easton is MUCH nicer now than it was back then. No one went downtown back in the day except to Mothers. Also, do activities - I was on the Activities Forum and we got to meet cool bands like the Gin Blossoms and the Samples. And I was a prison tutor (that was interesting) and volunteered in the soup kitchen.

The narrator was an English major and mispronounced "prevalence" as "preVAILlance."!!!
And he spoke like a robot.

By hearing how you pronounce Lafayette and Farinon, I doubt you went to Lafayette.
