Lehigh of Penn State Shreyers Honors College

<p>Got into both and will be paying close to the same at lehigh and psu. Im really 50/50 right now so I' m just looking for general thoughts. Got into the business schools at both too. Thanks</p>

<p>but hey, Penn State has a more famous football team - that must count for something</p>

<p>This is a really tough decision. A lot of the numbers in the post above aren’t that useful because you’re going to be in Schreyer. Lehigh is known for engineering and business, which has gotten really good recently. Penn State also has a strong business school and the huge network of alumni which is certainly an asset in Pennsylvania. Both are top-notch options. </p>

<p>I think this is one of those times where you’ll get the same quality education at both schools. If you are paying roughly the same, I would just look at whether you want the big school experience or a smaller school.</p>

<p>Nulli, other than being called a “Schreyer Scholar”, getting $3,500 per year and taking a couple of your classes with less students, what are the benefits of being a Schreyer Scholar at Penn State?</p>
