Living at Lehigh

Lehigh offers a variety of residence halls conveniently located throughout the Asa Packer campus. While you'll be assigned to a residence hall as a first-year student, you will have the opportunity to request the type of residential housing that best fits your needs. Second-year students can select their building and/or type of housing. Third-, fourth- and fifth-year students can participate in a lottery to select their building and/or type of housing.
