I graduated BSEE in 1981. Nothing has improved at LeHell in 40 years. Nothing's changed even since 1941. I lived (died?) on 5th Floor of Dravo from Aug 1977-May 1978. Horrible housing and awful food. Lehigh admins were apathethic, do nothings. Profs were clearly overworked and TA's couldn't speak english (cheapest labor Lehigh could import). Apparently Lehell has manageed to coverup the truth and suck in enrollees without going out of business. Too bad. |

Don't expect AC in dorms at any point. Sub-par dining hall food with lack of other options. Most of the TA's in the Business and Engineering Schools don't speak English well. Professors are not required by the school to comply with academic accommodations given for medical reasons as it is up to the professor's discretion. Grade deflation is rampant at Lehigh, so expect to do poorly regardless of the grade listed on Course Site. The Lehigh Health Center is great at misdiagnosing people and has absurdly poor hours when trying to schedule around class times (only open during classes and will cancel your appointment if you're late by even 5 minutes). All potential Greek members beware, Lehigh is using any excuse to get rid of greek chapters in place of dorms without central AC for freshmen. Parking permits are severely overpriced and you cannot park other places on campus using whatever pass you purchase. Police are more concerned with busting off-campus parties than stopping the muggings and gunshots near off-campus housing. Off-campus housing is extremely overpriced considering the renovations that need to be done. The campus itself is beautiful, but that is one of the few redeeming qualities of Lehigh as the price of attending continues to skyrocket without any noticeable improvements for students.
