Great local restaurants, many night clubs, it is a college town. University of Louisiana-Lafayette, around 18,000 students, the sports mascot is the Ragin Cajuns. Lafayette is just west of the Atchafalaya Basin, a large inland swamp stretching nearly 40 miles, fishing, hunting and outdoors are big here. You can go on tours of the swamps near Henderson, LA. See the local cajun french radio show in nearby Eunice, LA.
This is a small family oriented city, big on technology and in the middle of a building boom.
