<p>Nonpoisonivy,
I don't understand your concern about Lafayette being overly sports minded. From what I remember about Lafayette, it's the only school in the division they play in that does not give sports scholarships. I live close to Lafayette and there was some controversy in the papers this past fall because their biggest donor did not agree with that policy and was withdrawing his support. At least that's what I remember. It's well respected in this area. Students that attend Lafayette can also take classes at our other nearby colleges - Lehigh, Muhlenberg, Moravian and DeSales.</p>
