<p>I recently got off lehigh's waitlist and sent in the deposit
and i deposited to rutger's university long ago.</p>

<p>i received no financial aid at all from lehigh</p>

<p>im majoring in accounting and thinking about doing premed along with it.</p>

<p>rutgers w/ room and board is around 24k</p>

<p>while lehigh is 48k</p>

<p>is it worth the extra money?</p>

<p>There is nothing like Lehigh. Why do you think their new motto is “Constant Lehigh”? Remember: You will only have one best 4 years of your life.</p>

<p>Compared to Rutgers, Lehigh IS worth the money-- but only if you can afford it. If you are going to be saddled with debt for 20 years after graduation, then it will end up being a burden.</p>

<p>Jassizzle:</p>

<p>Perhaps you should look closely at Lehigh’s recently released [Strategic</a> Plan](<a href=“http://www.lehigh.edu/2009plan/]Strategic”>http://www.lehigh.edu/2009plan/) and [Middle</a> States Commission Periodic Review Report - June 2003](<a href=“http://www.lehigh.edu/~oir/reports/MSCPRR/LUMSCPRR2003.pdf]Middle”>http://www.lehigh.edu/~oir/reports/MSCPRR/LUMSCPRR2003.pdf).</p>

<p>As [noted[/url</a>] before and reinforced by the [url=<a href=“http://www3.lehigh.edu/pdf/about/LU_strategicplan.pdf]strategic”>http://www3.lehigh.edu/pdf/about/LU_strategicplan.pdf]strategic</a> plan](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062155511-post24.html]noted[/url”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062155511-post24.html), Lehigh is committed to supporting interdisciplinary studies which might dovetail into your stated (accounting/business and pre-med) aspirations. These are the type of initiatives that you can participate in at Lehigh that may justify the additional expense:</p>
