Lehigh University Visit Report by Fetou

Visit Activities:

Campus Tour: Yes - The tour was quick enough to stay interesting but detailed enough to really provide some solid information about the college. A really fun tour in my opinion.

Classroom Visit: Yes - I sat in on an Intro Computer Science class in the Engineering building. The lecture was very complete and structured in a way to help the students organize and understand the material. Impressive.

Campus:

---

Really only talked to the tour guide, who was very friendly. It was pretty early on a Monday morning.

---

The admissions person behind the desk and the professor who let me sit in on a class were both extremely friendly and helpful. They provided me with exactly what I requested.

---

The campus is truly engulfing and beautiful. The old school architecture of the buildings and the growth up the stone walls has a really unique feel to it. A very well presented campus.

---

Nothing to complain about here.

Dorms were very impressive compared to those of the schools in my area (Rochester Inst Technology, Univ. of Rochester). Not perfect, but large enough for a comfortable living environment.

I felt very safe on the campus. There were emergency phones in sight from pretty much every point on campus, and the student body wasn't intimidating. There are many state sheriffs on campus as w

I really loved the look and feel of the campus. It seemed about an even distribution between male-female which is impressive for a school like Lehigh. An overall great place to be.

Off-Campus:

---

Many little shops and food places, but a little bit run down. It is definitely an area I would exercise caution with at night. I felt safer on campus.

---

The surrounding area is certainly underrated by others on CC. There are all kinds of restaurants and attractions, along with all convenient shopping centers and chains within five or six miles.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

The Hampton Inn on Gateway Drive was perfect in every aspect, and for a bargain of around $100 a night. Great staff, great room, wireless internet, and the best hotel buffet breakfast I've ever h

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

Lehigh Pizza was decent for lunch. The Taste of Italy Ristorante has fantastic authentic Italian food on Airport road. They have a six dollar coupon on the website if you would like to try it.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

I saw the Coca Cola factory from the road (didn't visit) and I hear that the Martin Guitar Factory is in the area, which might interest musicians.
