The vibe at these 2 schools will be more similar than different. Both have a very social reputation, it’s just that Lehigh does it with frats. Lehigh may have a tighter community due to location and campus layout. BC will have an emphasis on community service. There are a lot of cross applicants between the 2, so the student body is more similar than different. One is not stronger than the other for overall academics, but for STEM and Physics Lehigh wins. With 6,000 undergrads, it is smaller than BC, but not a small school.
