Lehigh was a great school because of small class sizes, a rigorous engineering and business curriculums, work hard, play hard student engagement, and dedicated alumni powered by the greek system who still cared enough about the future of Lehigh and their legacy.
Its a shame to see such a down turn in numbers and I hope Lehigh and the board will stop trying to copy other schools course of action and stick with what we were known for and what we were best at.
Stop the hemorrhage and change the course of action before we lose what built the brown and white for what we are. The board needs to take control and realize that we are on the path to mediocrity, not prominence. Apps are down sharply everywhere. Even the elites are off by thousands of applicants. Some will be international apps — you terrorize people and they stop coming. What else? This place is a joke. My dad was being reactionary and it was hard not to be when you see planes crashing into buildings only a couple blocks from your old home.
I could have gone basically anywhere I wanted with my credentials and background. Now I cringe whenever I hear about the school. The reputation is disgusting too. None of the students are surprised. At least the applicants are starting to know better than to try to come here.
Not everyone is attracted to that. It drove her away. The university-wide efforts to provide alternatives were appealing, like Lehigh After Dark, PRELusion programs, and free and heavily discounted student tickets for arts. If those are new university-wide initiatives, my daughter was positively impressed,. Is it possible that was the aberration, as that was the first year they tried to increase enrollment? The article needs some trend data.
What happened to applications at other schools similar to Lehigh? The College of Health seemed like it might be promising. Maybe this weakened fall recruiting in a promising geographic area, as a partial explanation for the drop in applications. My son applied and attended specifically for the combination of good education and Greek life.
Last year they suspended his frat for a ridiculous reason and this year they are using the frat for non-brothers. Attending Lehigh is the biggest regret of his life and word is spreading.
