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..
