· Lehigh is small enough to be personal, yet large enough to be powerful, combining the learning opportunities found at larger research universities with the personal attention of a smaller, private college. 

· Students have easy access to world class faculty who are committed to teaching and mentoring students.

· A highly ranked national university with balanced excellence across each of its four colleges. 

· You can get involved in experiences inside and outside the classroom that can help build confidence and help you to continue to develop as an individual and a leader.  Your time here will help you continue to grow into a well-rounded individual who succeeds professionally in whatever area you choose and contribute to our global society.

· Professors are widely respected in their fields and offer students the personal attention and mentoring to learn and succeed.

· A comprehensive university that offers students an interdisciplinary education that crosses colleges and fields of study.  Strong programs in business, the humanities, education, arts and sciences, and human services balance our traditional strength in engineering.

· You'll develop relationships with professors and colleagues that will help you throughout your career.

· Rich traditions that are both inspiring and fun. 

· Strong alumni network can be a valuable asset during your years at Lehigh and beyond.

·11 to 1 student to faculty ratio allows students to work closely with and gain a high level of individual attention from professors. 

· You can customize your curriculum by selecting from among 2,000 courses that span four different colleges, carry a double major, change your major or take course work across colleges.

· Class 1 research institution with 38 research centers and opportunities to work alongside world-class researchers with state-of-the art equipment.

· Average undergraduate class size is about 25 students.

· Career counseling and interviews, engaged and involved student affairs staff available 24/7.

· More than 130 student clubs and special-interest organizations, 34 fraternities and sororities encourage you to reach beyond academics and take hold of all that life offers - whether it's sports, the arts, special interests or community service. 

· More than 100 study abroad programs in more than 30 countries, exchange programs in seven countries, and winter and summer faculty-led programs in 10 countries.

· 24 intercollegiate sports for men and women student-athletes; more than 2,500 students also sign up for intramural sports and another 1,000 become involved in club programs like ice hockey and crew, competing against other schools. 

Lehigh Earth Observatory (LEO), operated largely by undergraduates in conjunction with faculty, research and technical staff, and graduate student mentors, creates opportunities for students and faculty from all of Lehigh's four colleges to collaborate in cross-functional, team-based problem-solving. 

· Lehigh's Humanities Center allows students to engage in programs, discussions and events outside the classroom that expand their appreciation of arts, literature, philosophy, and religion and offer opportunities to interact with professors in non-traditional settings. 

· Leadership opportunities abound through the student senate, the Community Outreach by Athletes who Care about Helping (COACH), Community Fellows program, the Students That Are Ready (STAR) program, and Community Interaction Day, among others.  Last year alone, Lehigh students logged more than 26,700 hours in voluntary community service activities.

· Lehigh offers a host of programs that cross colleges and fields of study including the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) program, Computer Science and Business (CSB) program, Lehigh Earth Observatory (LEO) and Community Fellows. 

· Ulrich Field, a lighted, dual grass/artificial turf field on Lehigh's Goodman Campus is a lasting reminder of the distinctive Integrated Learning Experience programs.  Lehigh students “built” the facility from the ground up, designing the complex, performing cost analyses, and planning for things like drainage, safety and maintenance.

· In addition to being able to major in one of the best engineering programs in the country, Lehigh undergraduates can simultaneously prepare for an interesting alternative career - as a teacher.  Lehigh offers a combined degree program that leads to a bachelor's degree from the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science and a master's degree from the College of Education.  The program, also offered to undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences, can be completed in five years - one year less than what it usually takes to earn both degrees.
