Really nice library. Everything seemed very clean and maintained. Many buildings have that old gothic "ivy league" look.

I saw McClintic Marshall which were just okay. Kinda small, the typical freshman dorm. I hear Richards is really nice though and upperclassmen ones get better as well.

Saw many Lehigh Police cars on and around campus. The campus feels enclosed and safe. Many blue boxes, and alarm in dorms that goes off if door is open for 30+ seconds.

Campus Visit Notes for Lehigh University


Visit Description:

I loved the campus from the moment I stepped foot on it. There are wonderful academics and many social and atheltic opportunities. I ate at one of the dining facilities and it was very good! The gym is also nice and pretty large. There is a seperate one for varsity athletes which is good also. I would definitely say that if you are really interested to make sure you go for an info session/tour and an interview. I think it definitely helps to show you're interested!
