<p>hey! so ive gotten into both schools and im having a really hard time choosing between the two. ive toured both campuses and they're both great.
ive got into the business school of both and they're also both great
i have friends at lehigh / are going to lehigh
but a huge number of my family has gone to fordham</p>
<p>my descision may come down to recieving money from one school and not the other, although ive heard nothing from either about that yet.</p>
<p>any insight towards making a descision would be great!</p>
<p>Well, if money is an issue you will just have to wait to see who gives you a better package. Is it possible for you to attend either if neither one offers you money? Is it just merit money or financial aid also you are waiting for?</p>
<p>Two great choices. My S loves Fordham/Gabelli and I know a number of very successful Lehigh b-school alum who loved their college experience. Congratulations.</p>
<p>My two cents – Lehigh is more highly rated, but I am not certain how much of this is due to it superb engineering program. </p>
<p>Would you regard yourself as especially strong in math/quant. Both Lehigh and Fordham will require math as prereqs to several business classes, BUT at Lehigh, there will be people transferring out of engineering into business, who will be uber strong in math. </p>
<p>Also, Lehigh is in Bethlem. Its about a two hour bus ride to Philadelphia. 1.5 hours if you have a car. Fordham is a 10 minute train ride to Manhattan. I would not advise working during Freshan year, but after you see how you are doing, internships/jobs are available.</p>
