Lehigh University Top Questions

no really but there are always exceptions

They are beyond true..lehigh students can out drink and out party anyone while still maintaining a 4.0 or pulling an A in organic chemistry..its amazing watching kids answering challenging questions in class who you also watched down 15 shots the night before

Not at all. Lehigh has an increasingly diverse student body, and drinking is always an option. There are plenty of substance-free events.

some, but at the same time there are always people who dont fit the stereotype

I would say no. There are many wealthy people, but everyone on campus is soo nice and always willing to help. There is diversity on campus, a lot of times people just don't look for it.

Mostly, no. Obviously the stereotypes are based on actual people or features, but that is just one part of Lehigh. The student body is very diverse and it is definitly not true that everyone is rich and has money to throw around. Over half of students receive financial aid. Lehigh does have hills, but the campus is very walkable and there are buses and vans that run when you don't want to walk. Greek life is very important for some students but you can get involved in it as much or as little as you like. You can join a house or just attend events, or stay out of the scene altogether. You won't have a problem finding someone who sees eye to eye with you on this subject, no matter what your opinion is.

There are a variety of people at Lehigh, it's a matter of finding the ones that fit best. There are a lot of activities that don't involve being Greek or having anything to do with them if someone so chooses.

The majority of students of this kind join Greek Life, therefore there are people that aren't this stereotype outside of the Greek community, it just takes looking. A way to break apart from that scene is to find a house off campus when available, which opens all sorts of doors.

To a certain extent. You don't see that much diversity on campus, mostly everyone is white. People are all very smart and generally good people who like to study and party.

I think that Lehigh prides itself on its engineering programs, so yes, there are a lot of engineers on campus, but the majority of students are in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in psychology, english, art, and so on.
