Lehigh has a strong sense of tradition and pride going all the way back to its founding. Its strong community and spirit is what makes it fun and it's what makes it home.

My school has great alumni network. When I got accepted, they had an accepted students dinner with alumni around my area and also invited me many events in order to get me interested.

Lehigh University is a great school where I could study engineering, but still persue my other interests.

Lehigh has such a strong Greek community, which is something that I didn't realize when applying here. I am in a sorority now, and I am so happy that I went Greek, although it was a bit of a shock in my first couple months while at Lehigh. The Greek community is great for those that are in it; however, someone outside of Greek life may feel like a bit of an outsider in comparison. There are still plenty of activities to do on campus though if you decide not to go Greek.

it has an unusually great alumni support and alot of alumni reunions around the world. it is a part of the oldest college rivalry known to man which helps build a great amount of school spirit

HUGE greek system! If you don't go Greek you probably shouldn't go to Lehigh espeacially as a guy.

Overall, Lehigh is a great school. Beautiful campus. We're like a family. I'm from far away, and I've really fallen in love with this school even though it's a lot different from my hometown.

Basically the #1 truth about Lehigh... is that YOUR LEHIGH LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT. If you just sit around in your room all day, don't talk to anyone and just pout about how little there is to do here, then your life at Lehigh will be terrible. By contrast, take the initiative to engage in your schoolwork and attend your professors' office hours, then you will do great academically. If you reach out and network, whether that's by Greek life, joining clubs, working, or just simply making friends, you will have a great social life. And if you come in with an open mind and engage with all of the great programs the school has to offer, then I guarantee you will be happy here.

Come to Lehigh if you want to go to a prestigious school in the northeast but can't get in to the Ivy's. Or if you can but want to go to the best private university in the country for partying. Especially if you're an engineering or business student. Or it you want to go somewhere where you won't gain the freshman 15.

It's fairly small which created a more communal vibe for me than other schools did. I believe the undergrad totals around 8,000. I know my class of '12 has around 1250 students in it. For people who like familiar faces without feeling claustrophobic, Lehigh is a very good fit.
