<p>I was accepted to Lehigh as a transfer student on Saturday and I am deciding between Lehigh and Lafayette. I know that Lehigh is considered a big time party school and I was just wondering what it's like on the weekends? Also any other things you love about it that you like to share? Or little details I wouldn't get anywhere else? Thanks!</p>
<p>Well, I was there on Saturday for the Engineering college’s candidates day. The campus seemed very empty, however it was the morning. Either everyone was sleeping in with hangovers from Friday night, or they were all off campus somewhere. 
I’d assume they were mostly just still asleep, as the day went on, there were more people out and about walking and jogging. </p>
<p>When I first visited the campus last year, I wasn’t really 100% sure I’d love it, but now that I went again, I felt completely comfortable walking around and talking to people. </p>
<p>About the party scene, it’s all up to you. If you want to take part in the parties, you can. If you want to just study or hang out somewhere else with friends, you can. I really feel Lehigh has a little bit of everything to offer.</p>
<p>What are you majoring in?</p>
<p>Im majoring in business probably marketing! You? and are you def going as a frosh or as a transfer?</p>
<p>I’m majoring in enginnering, starting as a freshman.</p>
<p>dude me too! which engineering? I’m doing chemical.</p>
<p>We also went up for the accepted students day, and I found that it was really nice to talk to all the staff members. I met with one of the Deans of Engineering and the head Chemical Engineering Professor. I don’t see any other colleges offering you such an up-close and personal touch. We visited Northeastern the next day and we barely met any staff members or many students for that matter. </p>
<p>Lehigh has a very nice program especially in Business and Engineering.</p>
<p>acelin, I’m going for Computer Engineering. They took us in to meet with the robotics professor, and he showed us some cool projects they are working on, which can be seen here: [VADER</a> Laboratory :: Research Projects](<a href=“http://vader.cse.lehigh.edu/projects.php]VADER”>http://vader.cse.lehigh.edu/projects.php)</p>
<p>After that day, I’m feeling more and more comfortable about going there.</p>
<p>This past week was “Greek Week” at Lehigh. It is often described as one of the best weeks to be a student…greek or not. The campus was obviously quiet in the mornings for the obvious reasons.</p>

<p>Last week was not only Greek Week, but the University held its second (and probably now-annual) Symposium, which brought in notable guest speakers in different fields and which showcased some of the best undergraduate and graduate research being done at the university.</p>

<p>Halo, Lehigh is not a commuter school. Freshmen are probably required to live on campus.</p>
<p>Momwaitingfornew, students living within 30 miles of campus may apply for exemption from the on-campus requirement.</p>
<p>Lehigh was THE biggest party school in the 70’s-80’s but the school clamped down, transitioning it to a more average party school today. It’s almost entirely focused on fraternities for its social scene. The good, there’s a lot of them. The bad, there’s a lot of them. Besides the school, there isn’t much else. Makes for a tight community with all the good and bad that comes with it. Your life can be as serene or complicated as you want to make it.</p>
<p>Don’t know of any “bad” at Lehigh. My son and all his friends that I’ve met the last couple of years just love the school. They all wish they could stay at Lehigh for 5 years!</p>
<p>Now that my daughter is home from LU for the summer, she is working two part-time jobs, and just completed an on-line Lehigh course for the Business Minor. Yes, she is busy, but has found time to visit with a few of her Lehigh friends at our home. I have enjoyed talking to them about their summer jobs, majors and aspirations. Conclusion: So far, the Lehigh students I have met are bright and hard working.</p>
<p>I second the above two posters. My son absolutely loves Lehigh and can not wait until he gets back in August. He was actually bummed that his freshman year was over because he only has 3 more years left (I pray!).</p>

<p>Just got the Summer 2009 Alumni Bulletin in the mail. It’s not available online yet, but you can see [past</a> issues here](<a href=“http://www3.lehigh.edu/news/bulletin/default.asp]past”>http://www3.lehigh.edu/news/bulletin/default.asp). The profiles in it give you a peek into the Lehigh experience you’re not going to get anywhere else.</p>
