Lehigh=God's Country (but not in Austin's eyes)

Lehigh is every college students' ideal of an idyllic college -- old time history, rituals, buildings and traditions -- everything that "college life" is supposed to be.  I was ready to sign up when they said, "Welcome to Lehigh."  Unfortunately, I was a little high on the age stratosphere, I think, for their liking.  Nevertheless, when someone says to me, "Eighteen fraternities..."  I am sold!!!!   Not for me, you pervs!  For Austin!  Well, I am really just about to go into a tailspin over all Lehigh has to offer (not to mention TOP NOTCH academics!), when Austin turns and says to me, "I really don't want to go to this school."  What?!?!?!  How could you NOT?!?!?!  Wait...the buildings are GORGEOUS, Bethlehem reminds me of San Francisco, the school is built onto the side of a hill where the views at the top are breathtaking, the academics are over-the-top, just short of Ivy, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!?!?!  "Well," he says, "it reminds me of Industrial Revolution meets Harry Potter meets some buildings in the 70s.  I feel like I'm at Hogwarts."  Yeah -- that's the good stuff--that's what it's supposed to feel like!  I guess it all comes down to...you like black, I like white, that's what makes the world go round...or one person's trash is another person's treasure....there's got to be analogy somewhere in there.  Soooo, bottom line, Austin will not be applying to Lehigh :(  New REVISED college ratings (on a scale of 1-5, 5 being best):  Pitt=1.0, Lehigh=2.0, Carnegie Mellon=2.3, Allegheny=4.0, Penn State=4.3, Bucknell=4.5
