Great Education & alot of fun!

Introduction
It's a difficult school academically, but well well worth the effort. I would suggest an interview as I believe it is vital to the process. Lehigh made the adjustment for me personally very easy. And yes, I would definitely attend Lehigh if I had to do it again without a doubt. Lehigh's education is far superior to many of the IVY's I believe as I felt better prepared working with IVY grads in my first job in an investment banking program. Lehigh is also in close proximity to Philly and New York, so that you have that escape when you need it.

Campus Life and Social Life
Partying at Lehigh is as intense as you want to make it. I didn't feel that I had to as there are local bars to escape the frat scene, but found the frat parties alot of fun while there. Definitely an experience. Advertisement
Academics
I would definitely make the same choice to attend Lehigh. As an alumnus of 12 years, I truly appreciate the education Lehigh provided me in the Business school, with an Economics degree. I work on Wall Street today and can say despite being a small/medium size school, there is an incredible presence of Lehigh grads in my business. Lehigh's engineering background provides an analytical/mathmatical approach to every aspect of the college education, which I found tremendously helpful in my career. It is a tough school, but one that rewards you well both intellectually and socially. The professors are outstanding in every discipline and the required curriculum actually makes sense. Don't let the surrounding Bethlehem area deter you as it is a beautiful campus and incredible facilities. I would send my kids there!

Student Body
Fellow students were great as I still have close friends from Lehigh. It's the Northeastern stereotype in attendance. There was also a significant international presence, however, especially from C. & S. America, which made the college experience that much more interesting.

In Closing...
Bottom Line - Great experience and Excellent education. Everything is available to you at Lehigh.
