What unique aspect of Lehigh most interests you? (As a guideline, your response should be between 150-250 words.)
"Dad won't be happy" I thought. The table was littered with resistors, transistors and LEDs all stripped from his PC. In an effort to find out how it worked, I had disemboweled Dad's 'Holy Grail'. Now come on! I was 13 and curious, a quality I have to this day. Curiosity leads to research. To solve problems, unearth secrets of our world -carry out research in the quest for knowledge-exactly what is happening at Lehigh, is intoxicating! Even the notion of one day discussing my ideas with Dr. Rick Blum is enthralling. The opportunities for such undergraduates, the research facilities such as the Energy Research Center and the student faculty at Lehigh allows for applied research and will help me in my own quest to one day harness continuous power from God's Power Station: The Sun. The opportunity is more than perfect and I yearn to become part of such an institution.
For me, academics are just not enough. Because I have to spend the next four years of life, the university where I do, has to have that 'X' factor. Living in an institution around unfamiliar people may be difficult and being an international student adds to the burden. Growing up in a closely knit community, I cannot stay put without saying a hello, hi, or greeting someone and always want someone to talk to. My Professor drops by at Deja Brew for a little chat-awesome or students help me with my things to the dorm on my first day at the University-nice. That's what I looked for in a University that is what I found in Lehigh. "This University is a home away from home" they say-my future home.
