Campus Visit Notes for Lehigh University

Visit Description:

Really enjoyed. Lehigh rose in my D's eyes after visiting. But climbing Mayan Temple height stairs to get to dorms/frat/sorority houses was serious excercise. You won't gain weight at Lehigh because you'll burn it off just walking campus.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

In a certain part of Bethlehem dining is outstanding and walking around (annual street Musikfest) is safe and fun. Other parts of Bethlehem--just don't go there.
