Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Personally, I hate Lehigh. For the sake of objectivity, I will try to make this comment as neutral as possible. I won't talk about academics, just about my prediction of your happiness at this university. Basically, it comes down to this: if you are liberal, open-minded, and looking for an interesting and/or different college experience to stimulate personal growth and build worthwhile relationships, DO NOT COME HERE. You will be sorely disappointed and have your optimistic views of the world shattered. On the other hand, if you are rich and white, and enjoy being with the rich and white; if you are strongly conservative and don't want to hear others' opinions; or, if you were a tight-ass student and got good grades and want to know what it's like to be drunk so bad that you're willing to give up everything else in your life so that you can "achieve" the endless cycle of work-drink-work-drink to the point where it becomes a process more than an appealing lifestyle... COME HERE BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME AND EVERYBODY ELSE HERE THINKS IT'S AWESOME TOOOOOO! Obviously I'm jaded. But I don't think I'm crazy when I tell people I'm transferring and they move into a state of deep contemplation. The truth is that almost no one is actually happy at Lehigh - most kids here have been told to go here by their parents, to major in something they've been pressured into by their parents. The only way the students cope with this is by drinking their faces off nearly every night of the week, but guess what, they've still gotta get good grades, so every other minute is spent studying. This leaves no time for the soul to grow. I'm not making this up, and I've seen it first-hand (roommates, friends, etc.). I like partying as much as the next guy, but Lehigh sells its soul to the devil to get its party-school label. I made a mistake coming here, and I really recommend you think about the substance of this university past its image (which is tempting, I have to admit). Two final comments: *Yes, a majority of the girls are 7-8+, but they're also trained to be professional retarded crack whores the moment they join the sororities (esp. DG), which they will. 100% guarantee *Also, if you still decide to come here, definitely join a frat/sorority. I hate the greek life, but if you don't join it, your social life will be in the toilet. Yeah, I'm transferring ASAP Campus Aesthetics: A, University Resource Use: D Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

Firat, I would agree with most of the negative comments in saying if you are a minority of any kind, you should really think twice about coming to Lehigh. I feel as though my race and transfer status were two strikes against me while attending Lehigh for the few months I was there. During my time at Lehigh, there was a city counciol meeting addressing racist acts specifically during the time of Obama's election as president. That should speak volumes in itself. Also, I generally felt unwelcomed and had a very difficult time find decent people to hang out with. I met only associates at Lehigh, not one friend who I could actually stand to be around everyday. There city of Bethlehem is one of the shadiest college towns you will ever see. While taking a cab back to school one time, the driver told me he had been stabbed on more than one occassion in the area.. wtf. I think my only savior at Lehigh was my fiance who was in school in NY.. I spent many weekends with him to keep me from losing my mind at Lehigh. The bus to NY is right down the street and is relatively cheap (40 roundtrip) so I would say that's a plus. Also, the campus is BEAUTIFUL. That and my workstudy job are the only two things I miss about Lehigh. The people I worked with were great and I was paid 9.50 which is the most I've ever made in a workstudy position. Oh another plus is that I got a workout everyday without even trying. I thought people were exaggerating about the campus being on a mountain. THEY'RE NOT so keep that in mind. IF you're like me and need to be pushed to work out, that would be a plus for you. The academics were great, I have no complaints there. I would say you should probably stick to the majors the school is know for such as business, engineering, etc. I would, however, strongly recomment Dillon for anyone.. she's amazing!
