[quote=Anonymous]Kind of an apples to oranges comparison. Lehigh is more selective and has a 10 to 1 student/faculty ratio. Forbes ranks it 77th, versus JMU at 188th. JMU much larger, student faculty ratio of 16 to 1. JMU has an endowment of $78 million. Lehigh has an endowment of $1 billion. Lehigh has much more history. I would say a big factor would also be where you want to end up after college. If you have hopes for NYC then Lehigh would be a much better choice. JMU is bigger, less personal, and operating on a shoestring by comparison. But the Business program is a JMU strength with excellent placement in the DC area. Suggest go to Lehigh if the cost isn't going to cause family commotion. It's got more flexibility to create options after college. But for a large, inexpensive school JMU provides a very good education and not far away. Good luck.[/quote]
