I have so much to say about Lehigh because I both love and hate it. I love the University itself (mostly)…most of the hate stems from the apathetic student body. Although I'm not supposed to reply to other reviews, I find it important to address the two things: student body and the surrounding city.

The student body is intelligent. This statement has been proven wrong mannnny times. There seems to be a correlation between Greek life and messed up priorities, but that's all I'm going to say about that. I know wonderful people who are apart of the Greek system for great reasons and are apart of it the right way. Aside from Greek participants, there are bunches of students that are brilliant, creative, engaging and awesome. These are found in select programs such as Global Citizenship, Ekhardt Scholars, South Mountain College, Theater department, Women's Center, Multicultural Center, International Relations department, Philosophy department and in other areas (sorry for neglecting the engineering and business areas, but I'm talking about what I know and those areas contribute greatly to the super-masculine, alcoholic, white supremacy attitude). It is easy to fall into a group of friends and not stretch beyond that. The average Lehigh student works very hard for the ultimate goal of making lots of money and drinking themselves useless. These people tend to not smile when they pass each other, even if they're wearing identical outfits. See every other post for the uniform discussion…

Bethlehem is a fantastic city. It amazes me how many people call Bethlehem sketchy year after year without actually going into the city to see for themselves. How can you spend 4 years on campus, ignoring the coolness of Bethlehem. Bethlehem is gorgeous. Our side of the river, Southside, is such a diverse, funky place. There are cafes, fantastic restaurants, cool shops and lots of awesome apartments for upperclassmen. Northside has a rich history (and bank account and attitude) and is safe and clean and all that stuff.

If you are a passionate person, where ever you end up will work for you. The worst part of Lehigh is the other students, and you get to pick your friends.
