<p>I would be interested to see answers to this question (in the thread linked above):<br>

I appreciate this personal attention, but I would like to know if you feel that you receive this same personal attention post-matriculation? Have you had to reach out to a faculty member, dean, financial aid officer, special needs coordinator, coach, etc.? If so, what was the response?
<p>As the parent of a freshman at Lafayette, I can say that we did not feel that the contact that the school initiated last year was intrusive (although the excerpts from the article in the original thread suggests that they were not as aggressive last year as they are this year). Of the types of contact enumerated in the original thread, we experienced two from LC – phone call from a current student, and a letter from an alum. The alum was actually a trustee, probably due to the fact that my daughter had been offered a Marquis Sholarship. This did factor into our decision.</p>
<p>The only school that had a parent call us was Colgate (and the parent was local to us).</p>
<p>As far as support post-matriculation, my wife and I (and daughter) have been very happy with her degree of interaction with her professors (and the support they have provided to her) both in and out of the classroom. So much so that her bother, one year behind her, will be attending a similar size LAC in September, with the hope and expectation that he will have a similar experience.</p>
<p>During our son’s application process this year, he received student phone calls from most of the schools that accepted him.</p>
