Lehigh University is a small, private institution that consistently earns high rankings by national publications. The university’s primary facility, the Asa Packer Campus, sits on the southern edge of Bethlehem at the foot of South Mountain. Stunning historic architecture fills the campus, anchored by the magnificent ivy-covered Gothic tower at Alumni Memorial Building. Half of the campus is set aside as open space for the university community to enjoy the natural beauty of the mountainside. In addition to its superb academic standards, several of the university’s venues are quite popular among the community at large, specifically the Zoellner Arts Center and the Lehigh University Art Galleries.
Apartments, houses, and condos surrounding the college tend to be quite affordable, making it easy to find a budget-friendly place to live within walking distance. Leigh University’s position on the edge of Bethlehem gives you terrific access to both the city center and the surrounding natural landscape. A few blocks to the north, 3rd and 4th Streets are lined with the city’s finest selection of restaurants, bars, and coffeehouses—pick up your morning caffeine fix at Deja Brew, grab one of the legendary sandwiches at The Goose for lunch, or drop into the Funhouse for a drink after hours.
