Lafayette College as a safety

<p>I don't understand what is meant by match/safety. are you saying it is a safe bet he will get in? I'm sorry for not understanding the jargon. my concern with lafayette, if you are meaning the one in Easton pennsylvania, is that Easton is not one of the "safer" areas of our state. It is pretty downtrodden, despite there being some major universities in the area, (bethlehem). just a consideration.</p>
