r/Lehigh

I'm a first year student and I'm confused. My eBill Suite shows a "Term Balance Including Estimated Aid" of $38,959, but my Self-Service Banner Financial Aid offer shows that I get 39k in grants for the fall semester. Shouldn't my financial aid cover the cost shown in eBill Suite?

I feel like it's be bc my financial aid hasn't been disbursed yet but idk why it hasn't since I submitted my offer in Banner and finish everything on the financial aid checklist back in june.

Does anyone else have a similar problem?

you sign up for the requirement and sometimes it just becomes a box to check, but every now and then one sticks with you for years. who or what was that for you, and did you realize it at the time or only later?

Hi!

I’m a rising senior who is very interested in studying population health (pre-med) at Lehigh! I have my interview next week and I’m just wondering if anyone can give me tips or any niche things to say about the school. I don’t have to have generic why Lehigh or why major responses.

Thank you so much!!!!

Anybody emailed an AO recently?
I emailed my region’s last week with some questions and haven’t gotten a response yet. I don’t want to email again and get remembered for being pushy/annoying. Since it’s summer I also figured he might be on vacation. Just looking for a timeframe from your experience from dealing with them.

Hey everyone! I’m transferring to Lehigh this fall from Rhode Island and am starting to look at housing options. I’m a good student, pretty easygoing, and hoping to find a place close to campus. Are there any roommate matching services through Lehigh or good places to find roommates? Also, if I don’t live in the dorms, what off-campus housing options do people recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
