Lehigh vs Syracuse

College Search & Selection
1

I am currently trying to decide between Lehigh and Syracuse
My major going in is engineering.
Lehigh has a better engineering program but I am not 100% sure I want to be an engineer. My ideology was to apply to my schools for engineering and if I don’t like it I can transfer out since it is easier to transfer out then in.
If I don’t like engineering I would do Film/Tv/Production, which Syracuse is a very good school for.
Social Life is great at both schools
Price: I got the same amount of aid/grants from both. Syracuse is slightly cheaper.

I don’t know if connections would be better at Lehigh or Syracuse.

Right now I am leaning toward Syracuse, but feel like I may be making a mistake or missing an opportunity at Lehigh since it is harder to get into.

Lehigh is very easy to transfer schools, double major or minor across schools. Engineering and job placement highly ranked. Starting salary for Lehigh Grads in engineering amongst the best.

I don’t know too much about Syracuse

Does Lehigh offer tv / film production?

4

No, only thing they have is a minor in documentary storytelling.

In my opinion both these schools are great. Don’t let selectivity of Lehigh stop you from choosing Syracuse. If there’s a decent chance you might want to change your major and Lehigh doesn’t offer that major, I wouldn’t go there.
