fenwaysouth posted:Lehigh is a place you go if you have a professional engineering aspirations and you want to play D1 baseball against mid to low D1 talent because you love the game of baseball. This is a place to go if your son wants to focus on multi-disciplinary engineering studies with less practice time, less travel time and fewer games than more competitive traditional mid-majors/P5 D1 programs where it is much more difficult to be an engineering major.
JMO.
Would also add a great Business program to this assessment. It's a really lovely, albeit hilly, campus ( a friend of mine who's kid goes there say "free stairmaster" built into price of admission!"). Very strong alumni. Very old rivalry between Lehigh and Lafayette (actually the oldest football rivalry in the country), and would add Bucknell to this list. All three compete for the same type of player profile, but it would appear Lehigh takes more kids from in-state. As others have stated, great HA option if Ivy world is a bit too far out of reach, and your son is looking for more than D3.
