Statistical Analyzer:

Going to Lehigh is like entering the Twilight Zone.

I have searched college catalogues to see where I went wrong and the only thing I can find is a description of Lehigh students' apoliticalness as entering the "Lehigh Bubble". It is far more than political apathy. There is a palpable feeling of total apathy and complete inertia among the student body. I may be a mechanical engineering major but I never thought I would have to check my brain cells at the door when I started Lehigh. Granted this school has historically been a non-liberal arts, boys club, I never thought that I would experience such a low level of intellectual discussion among students at a school of this caliber. There doesn't seem to be an original thought among the bunch. Ok- a bit of an exaggeration

The students are not connected to the town, the sports teams or even the school. I have nothing against frats (some frat guys are my friends) but it certainly feels like the frat guys at Lehigh are not a member of Lehigh community but are loyal only to their fraternity and come down off the hill every once in awhile attend some classes at a place called Lehigh. The administration has allowed the frat life to dominate at Lehigh and it is clearly to the detriment of the school. Fraternities exist at the same levels at other schools, like Bucknell and Colgate but for some reason (maybe based on simply housing needs at Lehigh) the Greek life at Lehigh is semi-toxic for the total health of the school community.

Sportwise-I think there were 12 students, tops at most of the basketball games I attended.

If you think Bethlehem is small go visit Hamilton, NY or Lewisburg, PA. These are much, much smaller college towns yet no one there complains. Southside Bethlehem may be funky but it says something about the apathy of Lehigh students that they can't got off their butts to walk two blocks for a pizza or All You Can Eat Ribs and Chicken. If you think the campus appears vacant(which it does- it's eerie) the town is dead. For goodness sakes, the only sandwich shop in town closes at 2pm on weekdays and 4 pm on a Saturday. That says it all to me. If you can't keep a sandwich shop going in a college town, the college town, isn't one.

Students will however, trek like idiots to the frat parties almost every night of the week. Sure going to some parties has some appeal every one once in awhile. But drinking and staring at mostly other guys(only 30% females in my class) ain't my idea of fun for four years.

Frankly, I know it is not proper to paint an entire school with one brush but Lehigh clearly has some weird Mojo going on. The faculty is top notch and don't think the faculty deserves the students they have. The campus environs is awesome. However the administration needs some solid forward thinking to rein in the fraternities and to start catering to a less puerile mindset.
