Schools in and around Lehigh Valley

What do folks think about Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Lehigh and Lafayette? Just gathering some perceptions. I read up on statistics, and visited the schools, and would love to hear opinions and thoughts. We liked Lafayette the most and Lehigh the least, which seems odd to people.

We loved Lehigh but didn’t look at the others as D wasn’t interested in a LAC. I can totally understand if you are interested in a liberal arts experience, that Lehigh, a research university, wouldn’t make the cut. Nothing odd about that.

My D went to Lafayette and had an absolutely fantastic four years there. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the school (that a mom can answer).

We also visited Lehigh but in all honesty it had no chance from the start as my D really wanted a LAC – we insisted on visiting one mid-sized school but she was not interested.

Thank you happy1! I would love to PM you, but as a new member i cannot do so apparently. Could you PM me and perhaps we can start a discussion? My D really really like Lafayette. and as a mom, i would love to hear from you.

I sent you a PM. If you can’t reply feel free to ask any questions here.
