Is Lehigh an Ivy?

Hey friends, just doing some research and came across Lehigh University. Is it considered Ivy League? What should I know about its standing?

Lehigh University is not part of the Ivy League. The Ivy League is composed of eight schools: Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.

Lehigh University is a private institution that was established in 1865. While it's not an Ivy, it's reputable and known for its programs in engineering and business. Being an Ivy or not doesn't uniquely determine the quality of education you can receive. Many non-Ivy schools provide excellent opportunities and resources. Each school has its own unique strengths and offerings, so a thorough research is important to find what fits you the best.

Please keep in mind that Ivy League is not synonymous with prestige or academic quality – it's merely an athletic conference that these eight schools belong to. Rankings and prestige change over time and vary depending on who's doing the ranking. While Ivies do have a renowned history of scholastic achievement, many non-Ivy League schools - including Lehigh University - also offer rigorous academics, robust resources, and diverse campus experiences.
