hi! i’m attending lehigh university in the fall as a freshman, and i’ve seen a few posts here as well as heard from others that the area around campus/south Bethlehem is considered a “rough” area? i don’t notice that when i was visiting, granted i stayed by the historic street for most of my time, but since my dorm is off campus (abt a 10 minute walk) i wanted to get an honest opinion on the area around it? (im from oakland, and it gets a pretty bad rep as well, so if i could get a scale from like oakland to martha’s vineyard or something i’d appreciate it 😭)

Hi! i just received my dorm placements and i’m in a quad (two doubles) suite style dorm at brodhead! i’m excited but it is pretty far from campus, and i know its mainly upperclassmen, so i wanted to ask if anyone has any insight on the social scene, and just in general life in brodhead and off campus dorms!
