Even though I'm taking mostly prerequisite classes right now, they are more advanced than anything I'd taken in high school and the teaching styles of the professors are conducive to learning. The learning that occurs on campus isn't limited to strictly subject matter, and many classes bring in outside knowledge that is applicable in any situation and create well-rounded students, not just ones able to recite formulas and equations.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The atmosphere on campus is great from the people I've met to the activities offered. I know so many people who have found their niches in completely different areas from theater to sports to engineering clubs and that's what makes the campus so complete. And who doesn't want to be on a campus reminiscent of Hogwarts?
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The professors are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and bring a great deal of experience to their classes. For instance, my international relations professor has published books, written for the Los Angeles Times, and been on NPR. The exposure that Lehigh grants is well worth it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-Visit campus-much of my decision to come was based on the great atmosphere I was exposed to on my tour.
-Examine all of the unique options for degrees that Lehigh offers-IDEAS, IBE, and IRE@L are all integrated degrees not offered by any other school that provide excellent educations.
-Check out the spiral staircase in Linderman Library and picture yourself studying there...that image should be enough to make you want to come.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Students who go to school because they want to learn.
-Students who are organized and disciplined enough to go out and party on the weekends but still do all of their work.
-Students who have school spirit-the Lehigh-Lafayette rivalry is the oldest rivalry in the nation (search The Rivalry on Wikipedia if you're not sure).
-Students who look good in earth tones-Go Brown and White!
