What unique aspect of Lehigh most interests you? (As a guideline, your response should be between 150-250words.)
There are many things that draw me to Lehigh. But the key aspect of the school that caught my attention immediately once I heard about it was the location. The wind was flowing freely through my hair as I rode up to the top of the hill. "I'm the queen of the world!" I shouted as I rode down the hill. At a mere nine years old, I decided Pennsylvania was where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. My family and I were forced to move out of New York because my dad had lost his job. I would have never thought that good could come from such a traumatic event. When we moved back to New York, I vowed to go back to Pennsylvania. The feeling of freedom was something that I know New York didn't have. Being that Lehigh is in the same town that I once lived in is something very special to me. I know that I will feel at home in this campus. Another unique aspect that caught my attention right away about Lehigh was its student life. The fact that you can make the most out of your college experience really astounded me. Especially when I heard about Late Night Lehigh. These types of activities allow for students to express themselves and meet new people. I love the fact that Lehigh offers so many different clubs and activities for students to learn about themselves along the way. I know that if admitted to Lehigh, I will get the opportunity to try the sports I was not able to do while in High School. I know that I will be able to grow as a person and with these activities I will be able to learn about myself. I can go on about how Lehigh has a great Leadership Program and how it offers so many fraternities and sororities. These qualities are only one of many astounding elements that make Lehigh, Lehigh. Once I learned about this, I knew that Lehigh was the college for me.
