Pretty Safe
On campus I feel completely safe; however, going off campus at night can be a bit scary in Bethlehem and the cops are usually busy up on the Hill. Generally though, if you stay in a group and don't wander alone nothing bad will happen to you at Lehigh.

Pretty Much What You'd Expect
Like any school, Lehigh has tons of Greek parties that some nonGreeks can get into but there is so much else to do too! Parties off campus, campus sponsored movie nights, late night events, and just hanging out with friends. If you want a wild night, check the Hill but don't hesitate to spend the night with something more chill that Lehigh offers.

We're a Small Private School, Give Us a Break...
We love our school but you probably won't see us at the football games. It's tough because our field is a little off campus but intramurals and club sports thrive. I think our basketball team is pretty good, they made it to the NCAA tournament.

We're Pretty Straight Laced
There's a lot of weed, but besides that you won't find much other drug use unless you go looking for it. Drinking is popular, but that's the case on any campus.

Great!!
There are buses that go around Lehigh's hilly campus and a lot of access to buses and trains that go to big cities. It's easier if you have a car but you can definitely get by without one.

Practically Perfect in Every Way
There's no better place than Lehigh University. There are so few places where the academics are so strong in every department, athletics and the arts thrive, transportation to Philadelphia and New York is readily available, and has a healthy social scene. I only applied to Lehigh and I know a lot of my friends did too. We live Lehigh and if you come around, you'll quickly see why.

Northeastern Weather
I'm from PA, so I'm used to this weather which may be why I love it. The fall is beautiful, occasional snow storms are a pain but so much fun and the spring is temperate. Everything you'd expect for Northeastern weather.
