Welcome to Lehigh University's official YouTube channel. Founded in 1865, Lehigh is a co-educational, non-denominational and private university. A little more than an hour's car ride from Philadelphia or New York City, Lehigh is located within the thriving economic and cultural corridor of the eastern United States. Lehigh is a dynamic place to be both inside and outside the classroom. Each year, Lehigh's world-class entertainment and athletic facilities draw the type of top performers and premier events to campus that one might only expect to find in a major metropolitan city.
