Lehigh University

Student life

Lehigh’s main campus is located less than a 100 miles from both Philadelphia and New York City, ,on the wooded slope of South Mountain and half of the campus is preserved as open space. Lehigh encompasses 9.5 km2, including 0.73 km2 of recreational and playing fields and 150 buildings comprising four million square feet of floor space. It is organized into three contiguous campuses on and around South Mountain, including:

  • the Asa Packer Campus, built into the northern slope of the mountain, is Lehigh's original and predominant campus;
  • the Mountaintop Campus, atop South Mountain, featuring an intramural sports field as well as Iacocca Hall; and
  • the Murray H. Goodman Campus, immediately south, where a 16,000-seat stadium and other sports facilities are located. 

Lehigh University blends rigorous academic programs with a vibrant life in and outside the classroom, offering distinctive programs that support, guide, challenge and inspire our students. There are over 150 students clubs plus 43 intramural and club sports and 31 fraternities and sororities.

Accommodation

As a residential research university, Lehigh provides students with an environment where learning and living go hand in hand. LU living spaces create a family-like atmosphere that will immediately help students find a sense of community on campus.

All freshmen are required to live on campus and sophomores are also required to live on campus in a residence hall or Greek housing.

Most residence hall rooms are doubles, with a limited number of singles and triples. All residence hall rooms are equipped with a telephone line, cable and direct Internet access. Lounges, kitchens and study rooms give students ample room to work, relax and enjoy time with fellow students. All Lehigh residence halls are smoke free.
