I have friends who went there long long ago, and know of young alums but don’t genuinely know anyone current that I can think of. But I am familiar with the school and have actually been to the campus. I assume OPs kid has already figured out it is rural/small town PA and not in a hub like Boston or Philly. I disagree with none of the concerns you raised in the response to me. Also don’t disagree with those earlier who described the “bro” vibe and work hard/party hard culture, but as some have noted is not the whole culture. Just saying what I would do in OPs situation as I currently understand it, is commit to the Lehigh scholarship. Might there be an option that would turn out better if they waited? Sure, but I feel like the odds would be many multiples higher that they would turn out worse given the budget challenges. I’d do everything I could between now and the deadline to confirm that choice, and I would not look back.
