Thoughts on 'Chances'

<p>Thank you for starting and posting on this thread. Lehigh was the first school I considered for my 15 year old son. I’m really not sure how it first showed up on my “radar” although I am a big college football fan. </p>

<p>I went to school at a CommCollege then Florida State. We live in Orlando, FL. I researched as much as I could about Lehigh but not much of it from official Lehigh sources such as the web page. I read student comments about Lehigh posted on Campus Crawler, for example. </p>

<p>Part of our motivation, at the time, was that he might want to play football while he goes to school and we wanted him to do that at a place where academics was first but sports was still taken seriously. He has sort of given up the thought of playing football in college. He isn’t sure of his major yet, it might be sports management plus accounting or BusAdmin, or Poly Sci, and I don’t think Lehigh has a SM major. </p>

<p>Much of the student comments on Campus Crawler were negative, to be honest. My son is Hispanic and we value diversity. Lehigh’s FA was a big plus though.</p>

<p>Lehigh isn’t on our list at this point but if he decides he does want to play football it could reemerge. I love the school.</p>
