Lehigh University vs Trinity College(CT)?

<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...</p>

<p>LAboy4444, my oldest daughter will be a senior at Trinity this fall. She has loved her 3 years there- in fact, she passed up a chance to study abroad because she didn’t want to miss even a semester at Trinity! She has been challenged but not overwhelmed academically. She has enjoyed most (but not all) of her classes and professors. It is a beautiful campus, but the surrounding neighborhood is pretty rough. She has learned never to travel by herself, especially at night. The campus security is very good.</p>

<p>I think that Trinity is doing all it can to break down the town-gown barrier (students volunteer in the neighborhood schools and at the Boys & Girls Club right off campus) but of course it still exists. There is Greek life but it’s not necessary to belong in order to have a full social life, from what I can tell. I don’t know much about Lehigh, but it seems to be in a different type of setting- Hartford is definitely a big city!</p>
