Lehigh University's picturesque 1600-acre wooded campus is actually built into the side of what is affectionately known as "Old South Mountain" in historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A little more than an hour's car ride from Philadelphia or New York City, Lehigh University is located within the thriving economic and cultural corridor of the eastern United States.
