Just Union up and say "Hey, I didn't bother to apply but I'm coming anyway, please get me a room"? Why do people on decision threads suggest colleges that for whatever reason aren't on the table? |

That’s not the same as ‘I don’t know anyone’. What percentage of kids receive engineering degrees at Ohio State? It sure isn’t 26%. Does that somehow mean it’s a lousy engineering school. It’s still not important. |

Lehigh is well known as a great engineering school.
Villanova is also a great school in general. I don't think he can go wrong. |

| I think of them as great schools but think Of Lehigh for engineering specifically. I also think of Lehigh as a big party/Greek school which could be a plus or negative. |

Lehigh frats hard and parties all night. Definitely not less of a party school than Villanova. |

| Both overwhelmingly, almost weirdly, white. |

| Lehigh is very isolated. Villanova is near a city, with more to do. Which would your child prefer? |

Lehigh is 61% white; about the same percentage as the US. Someone’s a racist. |

Lehigh is top-notch for engineering. I'd pick that. Villanova is great for liberal arts, though.

| Lehigh is better known for it, but I would say campus setting/vibe would be more of a determining factor... |

| Villanova is Catholic. |

| Our firm has an office in PA - Lehigh has a much stronger reputation for science and engineering. I’ve heard Villanova is more fun, though. |
