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.

Villanova is Catholic.

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

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

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

Villanova full of partying not great engineering school. Lot's of alumni's kids who got in donation based.


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

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 is well known as a great engineering school.

Villanova is also a great school in general.

I don't think he can go wrong.

+1

Engineer from PA


How this is supposed to be helpful is beyond me.


Because Villanova is not really known for their engineering and Lehigh is?

According to their CDSs, 13% of recent Villanova grads received engineering degrees, vs. 26% for Lehigh.


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.

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?
