While the classes are getting quite difficult, that only shows that the quality of the material is effective. My freshman year, similar to most schools, was very basic and more of an introduction, while my sophomore year is full of new information more specific to my career. I am becoming familiar with more processes and the mindset of a mechanical engineer, and only look forward to learning more.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The feeling of attending Lehigh is a unique one, for whenever I leave the campus, I feel as if a part of me is missing. There are a ton of opportunities to get involved around campus and many different groups of people to get friendly with. It is truly an experience unlike any other, and it definitely helps that the campus looks amazing.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
There are a couple minor things that I wish students were more able to do, but overall, you are definitely paying for quality. Lehigh's tuition and other costs are not cheap by any account, but having all assets of an adult life covered within a college campus makes the daily routine much easier to handle.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are interested in Lehigh, first of all, don't stop working hard. The college curriculum is difficult to say the least, but learning time-management strategies early greatly aids in doing well. In addition, keep your mind open. There are some college experiences and groups that you, as a high school student, may never consider being a part of, but those are precisely the things that will make college so much fun.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Hard working students
-Those that want to learn a lot of information
