<p>Hi I want to apply early decision to one of those school, but can't decide which one I should to. Both seem so amazing. Please provide pros/cons or why which is better. I already know how both have amazing academics- so comment on social life, campus(which would be the BEST 4 years possible?)</p>
<p>Trinity is an LAC. Lehigh is a Greek, Greek, Greek obsessed smallish university. Social life (and campus problems) all center around frats and sororities. Some love that, some hate it. Our family didn’t care for it (we live 20 minutes from Lehigh), and fortunately, neither did our daughter. </p>
<p>If you are a straight guy, you also have to understand that unlike almost all LACs, Lehigh is a university that attracts math and engineering types. What’s the problem with that? Unlike almost all LACs, Lehigh is majority MALE. Something like 55-45. Most co-ed Liberal Arts Colleges are the exact opposite for gender distribution. Lehigh also has a fairly conservative (politically) campus culture. While most LACs lean left. I’m familiar with the political atmosphere and culture of a dozen top LACs, but admit I’ve not checked out Trinity. Maybe it’s just like Lehigh, but it might be a lot different.</p>
<p>My advice is to do your homework on campus cultures, not just academics. The academics could be a match, but you could find you just don’t fit in socially and wind up being miserable. Good luck.</p>
<p>Everyone is so happy at Trinity. You definitely couldn’t go wrong there.</p>
