<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, Justin, but I believe credit toward graduation requirements is granted, but does not count in the student's GPA.</p>
<p>You are a great resource!</p>
<p>Who do i have to contact to talk about a change of the meal plan in my coming bill ?</p>
<p>lafparent,</p>
<p>Yes, you are correct. Credit is granted toward graduation, but does NOT count in the student's GPA.</p>

<p>Hey Justin,</p>
<p>I'm not sure hoe to get started with the course registration process. Can u help me as the website isn't so friendly. I have a major in mind but dont know what courses to take.</p>

<p>nripesh,</p>
<p>You got my PM shortly after you posted your request, right? What classes did you decide on?</p>

<p>Hey Justin, nice to see you're still here helping out the newcomers! Keep up the good work!</p>
<p>I have two questions:
Does applying ED to Lafayette mean you'll probably receive less financial aid?
How much is there to do off campus, and are there any beaches or lakes nearby?
Thanks!</p>
<p>TellItToMe,</p>
<p>Lafayette will meet your full financial need regardless of whether you apply ED or RD. However, statistics show that our merit-based Marquis and Trustee Scholarships are awarded mainly to RD candidates.</p>
<p>Easton is quite the developing town -- no longer can you classify it as a haven for abandoned steel mills. In the downtown area there are new restaurants and caf</p>
<p>Thanks so much candyman92486!! I think this thread is so great! All I have to decide now is whether to apply ED or RD.</p>
<p>Hey Justin. I am a prospective international student wanting to major in chem. Are science majors popular at Lafayette? How hard are they and how good are they considered comparing to other LACs? Is there a good placement for grad school?</p>
<p>And also, as a non-engineering major, can you take engineering classes as electives?</p>
<p>Justin,
i think that i read in one fo your posts that it is a good idea to bring a printer for the dorm room...i can not find the post, but, am i right that you recommend a basic, small printer (as opposed to one with a scanner)?

<p>cristina89,</p>
<p>Yes, all of the hard sciences are very popular at Lafayette. As for the overall difficulty of our science curricula, I can only speculate from the experiences of others. From what I've gathered, it's quite challenging for Chem, Bio, Physics, etc. majors, leaving students well-prepared for careers in science. Research opportunities abound, which is critical if you intend to go on to higher education.</p>
<p>I really can't compare our science programs to those of other LACs.</p>
<p>Grad school placement for all majors is quite impressive. I've posted stats previously; rest assured that students each year are accepted to the most prestigious law/med/grad schools in the country. If you challenge yourself academically and take advantage of the opportunities presented, you'll have no problem gaining admission to numerous programs in your field of interest.</p>
<p>You could potentially take Engineering courses as electives, but keep in mind that all but the intro. course (ES 101) have prerequisites.</p>

<p>Mary,</p>
<p>Yes, I recommend students bring an inexpensive inkjet printer. Even though laser printing is free around campus, nothing beats the sheer convenience of printing in one's own room.</p>
<p>As a self-proclaimed tech nerd, I must point you toward the Canon Pixma iP3500. It's cheap and offers fast/quality printing. It can even print duplex automatically! I just ordered my little brother his own from a very reliable online retailer with bargain prices.</p>
<p>Here's a direct link: Newegg.com</a> - Canon PIXMA iP3500m 2170B017 Up to 25 ppm 4800 x 1200 dpi InkJet Photo Color Printer - Printer - Inkjet Printers.</p>
<p>There's no need for an "all-in-one" (printer, scanner, fax machine). An inexpensive, yet quality inkjet is perfect for any college student.</p>

<p>hey justin</p>
<p>my web mail is going crazy. it always says "You have been disconnected from the WebMail server, please login again:" and i have to type my un an pw again. But It comes again and again. What to do?</p>
<p>mohak,</p>
<p>You could be having email server issues for a variety of reasons: firewall incompatibility, cookie errors, server timeout, poor connection, etc.</p>
<p>You probably won't have a problem once you're on campus. I guess you'll just have to deal with it until you arrive. Plus, those "in-the-know" never sign in directly to WebMail through a browser -- a POP3 or IMAP client (Microsoft Outlook, Google Thunderbird, etc.) is definitely the way to go.</p>
<ul>
<li>Justin</li>
</ul>
<p>mohak if you're using your browser to check your email, I have reason to believe that the Webmail site has some sort of scripting that prevents your browser from remembering the user/pw. I'm not sure, but I have always had to type it in, even on my personal PC. I haven't found a way to circumvent it yet. </p>
<p>But you should use Thunderbird for your email.</p>
<p>Double majoring:</p>
<p>I want to major in engineering, but I am also interested in majoring in business and econimics and minoring in african studies. Am I commiting sucide or would it be challanging, but managable? Also would I graduate in 4 years?
Thank you?</p>
<p>boston<em>man</em>2009,</p>
<p>Double-majoring in Engineering and Econ & Business would be extremely difficult (think: 6 courses/semester effective immediately). A minor in addition to that would be out of the question if you wished to graduate in four years.</p>
<ul>
<li>Justin</li>
</ul>
<p>So do you think I should major in engineering and minor in Econ&business or that too is impossible (I don't mind if I have to go to summer school, if possible to graduate 4 years).</p>
<p>boston<em>man</em>2009,</p>
<p>Yes, that would be much more feasible if you are willing to overload a few semesters.</p>
