Is Lehigh University Safe?

Coming from a freshman girl that just completed my first semester:

Lehigh isn’t as safe as I was led to believe, but isn’t necessarily dangerous the way city schools are. The frats are pretty dangerous for girls. Most weekends I hear rumors of rape, sexual assault, spiking, etc. There are frats known to add xanax/adderall to the alcohol provided. There is a large party culture and coke is surprisingly common (at least by my standards! haha)

The area of Bethlehem is fine during the day but nicknamed “sketchlehem” by Lehigh’s (somewhat sheltered) student body. I wouldn’t venture off campus at night. My friends have been followed walking home from parties alone on campus.
