The "work hard/play hard" image at Lehigh is so strong that my daughter's college counselor has actually discouraged her from looking at Lehigh because she is not a "party girl" which I find silly. There must be students who do not engage in heavy drinking, etc... on the weekends in a school the size and academic reputation of Lehigh. The academic programs that Lehigh offers are very appealing to my daughter so I hate to see her overlook it. My bigger concern is the safety factor. My view on that aspect has always been tainted by a very tragic rape/murder of a young coed that happened years ago (we knew the family of the girl). Perhaps MrMountainHawk or another CC member who has experience on Lehigh's campus could respond to "how safe is the campus and the surrounding Bethlehem area?" Thanks!
