Themed Housing
Themed Housing Communities
There are eight first-year Themed Housing Communities which have been intentionally designed to help first-year students transition to Lehigh while creating connections within the campus and South Bethlehem communities.
Admitted First-Year Students
One of the greatest things about the Lehigh college experience is residential life. Most students who attend Lehigh live on campus which offers opportunities for fun, growth and belonging.
Transfer Students
Students transferring into Lehigh University will have the opportunity to live in on-campus housing. There is a residency requirement for first and second year students which, based on some transfer circumstances, may be waived if a student meets the exemption requirements. The housing team will work with transfer students to find the most suitable housing for your individual situation.
