<p>My son’s entering his second year at Lehigh (engineering), and everything that mumof2boyz wrote reflects his experiences there. My son’s extremely outgoing and sociable, and he wanted a work hard, play hard college experience. I haven’t heard of any social pressure to drink heavily or do stupid stuff. I’d even go as far as to say that everything I’ve heard sounds tame compared to his high school. </p>
<p>Just like every college, there will be some people that think one has to binge drink, but I can’t imagine anyone being able to do that and remain at Lehigh. The academics are wayyyyy too rigorous. There’s a great balance between work and fun at Lehigh that was perfect for him. He has a broad range of friends within and outside of his fraternity. </p>
<p>The physical campus is so beautiful, and the students are brilliant and fun-loving. I’m confident he’s going to leave Lehigh with an amazing education and future, and he’ll look back with fond memories of his time there.</p>
