The third-largest metropolitan in the state of Pennsylvania, as it is known by non-Lehigh Valley residents. It consists of the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton located in Lehigh and Northampton counties. Scrape off the gloss and it is in fact a TIME WARP. It is a place where conservative, WASPY middle-aged residents inhabit as well as younger parents with children go to raise families and clog the roads with their horrendous driving skills. The area has gained attention in recent years, as evidenced by a new casino in Bethlehem and the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley. Yet in spite of these progressive improvements, people here are stuck in the 1950's and firmly resist change. Perhaps thats due to the fact that there are so many old people as well as gun-loving, pickup-driving hicks who think that the Gap is upscale shopping. The speed limits are set far to low as way of accommodating the slow drivers who can't merge to save their lives. Travel guides and tourism agencies boast its "proximity" to Philadelphia and New York City however there is no meaningful connection to either of those places whatsoever. The Lehigh Valley disguises itself as a peaceful middle ground between the more expensive metropolitan areas found to its south and east, when really it is just like any other decaying, Rust Belt place in Pennsylvania. People who choose to live here think that the "Valley" is the best place on earth. Don't buy into it. Move somewhere else.
Mike: "So where are you from?"
Ted: "The Lehigh Valley"
Mike: "Oh. I live in Bucks County which is ten times better and a hell of a lot closer to Philadelphia".
Ted: "Actually, I love where I live. Being surrounded by white, Republican NRA members is a blast!"

When you want to go to Lafayette College, but you're not up to their moral standards. Lehigh is the place for you if you like Lafayette, but want the constant fear of being mugged in your daily life. Lehigh gets its name from the French term for getting high, which is a name the school regularly lives up to. Students are known for partying and not for academics. Maybe they do some studying, but I high-le doubt it.
Bill: Hey Johnny, you got good grades. You should go to Lafayette College!
Johnny: I would, but I'm an asshole, so I'm going to Lehigh University.

Lehigh is hell on earth if you are a minority. Be prepared to be stared at, have things yelled at you, and have to hear racist, sexist, and homophobic comments on a daily basis. There is no one to turn to either. Lehigh is aware of what is done to minorities and does nothing about it. This year someone skinned an animal head and left it in front of the UMOJA house. I've recieved death threats since i've been at lehigh and they just brushed it off. The faculty is pretty good but the majority of the student body are close minded, sheltered, spoiled, ignorant, rich white kids who have grown up in a bubble. They are OBSESSED with alcohol. THEY LIVE FOR IT. If you are not an alcoholic you're going to have a difficult time fitting in or having fun. All they do every weekend is play drinking games (sit in a basement playing with balls and cups) The student body is very homogeneous and is not accepting of people that are different. It is an ultra conservative environment. It's very hard to come across real or accepting people and those that are here are getting the hell out. I know four people that are transferring this year and I don't blame them. I would if I could but I'm stuck here (financial aid).
Campus is pretty dull. There's not much to do. The surrounding city is boring as hell. We're ranked in the top ten of the most boring college towns. One good thing about the campus is that it is beautiful. It's very scenic and peaceful. The only bad thing about the actual campus is that we are literally on a mountain. Freshmans can't have cars so you have to walk up and down it to get to class and back and forth.

Lehigh University is drinking at night.
Lehigh University is hungover in the morning.
Lehigh University is heaven for preppy frat boys and blonde slutty girls.
Lehigh University is hell for those who are black, brown or asian.

Lehigh is a preppy, eastern PA school for rich kids from Jersey, NY, and Connecticutt. The Uniform is pastel colored Polos, Audis, and Livestrong Bracelets. If you don't have dark, worn-in jeans and a North Face fleece you don't belong. These Metrosexuals can kiss my fucking ass. Classes are irrelevant most of these kids could fail a special olympic spelling bee. Beruit or simply "Ruit" is the thursday through Saturday ritual. The Hill boasts drinking parties for preppy frat fuckers and bitchy sorostitutes. Going to one of these places is the best way to get laid. People come here to drink on mommy and daddys coin for 4+ years. If your here for sports or an education, your waisting your life. Belligerence and debauchery make up and ideal Friday night. Girls to Guys its 4:6 and many are fatties, wear too much makeup or stroll to class in ugly sweats to cover up their freshman 15. Only a few hotties so wait till they're drunk and slutty to get some. Winter brings car accidents for morons who think they're indestructible in their BMW 325xi's with Jersey plates. Haha.
Typical Mon-Wed: Irrelevant
Typical Thursday night: Drink beer somewhere, wake up somewhere, go to class fhungover or don't go
Typical Friday night: Drink Beer somewhere: Get a few hours sleep, then morning cocktails, then tailgates, skip the game to prep for saturday night.
Typical Saturday night: Drink all night sleep all sunday.
