my d is a freshman at lehigh, it was not her first choice school and she is still not sure if she made the right decision.lehigh has a huge greek life and if you are not part of it there is truly not a lot to do, there is no college town and bethlehem is pretty scary.my d is in a sorority now [pledging was a nightmare] but they pretty much just go to frat parties and all they do there is drink, now lehigh has a VERY strong police presence and they are VERY strict on underage drinking and if they even suspect you are drinking you will get cited now while that makes this mom VERY happy.... you know the rest.There is not a lot of school spirit, nor a lot of interest in sports. plan on spending a lot of time in the library [it is beautiful] d has made the best of it ,she loves her new friends and her classes, but does sometime get bored, because there is nowhere else to go.the best advice I can give you is to do an overnight if you can, and really think about what is important to YOU and stick with that. my d first choice was b.c[waitlisted] and it is a completely different school.In contrast my senior daughter will be attending northeastern in boston next year!
