[quote=Anonymous]Lehigh grad here - quite some time ago now.  For reference, I have collage age kids now to date myself.

I enjoyed the time that I had at Lehigh - it was a bit of a culture shock at first thinking about it.  I grew up in a small suburb of Pittsburgh and was at Lehigh because of the huge amount of merit based aid that I received.  Was less expensive for me to go to Lehigh than it was for my sister to go a small PA state school - Slippery Rock.  Just a different vibe with all the NY, NJ, CT kids - I never heard of Choate or Exeter or any of the other $$ boarding schools before getting there.  Not too many of my friends were driving BMWs at that age either.

But, I found my folks.  I was in a fraternity, was president.  While an engineering major, took advantage of the arts programs and played in the Jazz Ensemble - studied with musicians from NYC who were on campus.  Was a tour guide.  Lots of ways to get involved on campus.

Bethlehem, especially South Bethlehem is way more developed now.  More stuff to do, more places to go.   We did occasionally drive down to Philly on a weekend or into NYC as well.

Good Luck.[/quote]
