- Living and studying in a different country-these were very exciting times. Keeping an open mindset helped me adapt, learn, and grow in so many ways I never thought were possible.
- The professors were well approachable and went extra miles to guide and assist us academically and personally.
- The variety of clubs and events made it so easy to meet new people, socialize, and build lasting friendships.
Dislikes
- Getting around a large campus
- The only downside was the sprawling campus location, which could be a pain at times, especially in the mornings, when using the campus bus seemed like an added chore.
- Limited career opportunities for graduate students (compared to undergrads)
Campus Life
- The two campuses at Lehigh University are the main Packard Campus where most classes are held, and the Mountaintop Campus, which is quite famous for its innovative spaces and occasional classes.
- There are shuttle buses available to transport students between campuses with ease.
- The university also offers excellent facilities, which include two well-equipped libraries, a gym, a large track for athletics, and a health center offering basic checkups and other medical services.
Accommodation
- I chose off-campus accommodations and mainly used Facebook to seek a place to stay. I joined community groups for people who advertise subleasing, leasing, or are looking for roommates.
- The university also has its own website for finding places to stay and roommates. My monthly rent is $550 for a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom house rented through "Amicus Properties." Maintenance is handled by them; however, gas and electricity are the tenants' responsibilities. The house came furnished with a dresser, nightstand, table, chair, and bed frame, although I had to buy a mattress.
- The main challenge I encountered was finding roommates and coordinating to lease the house together, since this greatly reduced costs. It's much cheaper renting an entire house and splitting the rent with roommates than paying owners who rent rooms at $700 or more individually. Coordination and guidelines for the house before occupying it were essential.
- I recommend that students start their housing search well in advance and ask the current students for advice on what to look for in a house. The rules for the house should be well-defined and all of them agreed to before the lease is signed to avoid future conflicts. My house is close enough to walk to campus, and most of the Indian students are found to stay off-campus in the surrounding housing areas.
- My accommodation is really close to campus, my classes happen all around the campus but i would say I'm relatively close and walkable from everything. Indian students are spread out everywhere.

Campus Life
Beautiful campus, great environment, plenty of college activities to partake in
Accommodation
I lived outside campus where the rent was $350 per month. I was able to cover living costs through on campus jobs. That's a huge upside at Lehigh University.
Accommodation
Living off campus is reasonably priced. Just find the right group to live with. I currently live with a lady who has lived in the area for 30 years and wanted someone in her spare room. Find what works for you.
I opted for this college because it is a small school that offered the major I wanted in a really nice location. Not in the city but with enough to do in the area. I am a runner, so it's nice to have trails nearby.
Accommodation
I lived in a dorm for one year, sorority house two years, and off-campus one year. I didn't have problems with any of these living situations. By my senior year, I was ready to live on my own, so my friends and I leased a house for a year.
I knew I wanted to major in mathematics and probably go toward the actuarial science track, so I wanted to go to a school that had a great business school and math classes. Lehigh is also known for its engineering program, so I assumed the math program would be great as well.
