| I
transferred to Lehigh from another college and must admit that
I was quite disappointed in the discrepancy between what I
read and saw in brochures and what the university was
actually like. 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! Hope this helped..
