Lehigh Valley college students - Here's a guide to your area

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

Moving to a new area can be an overwhelming challenge. While college students are finally settling into their surroundings, they may still not be familiar with what their new communities have to offer in the way of everyday necessities, including the best place to get a cup of coffee, slice of pizza, do your laundry or get an emergency chipped tooth fixed.

Visitors to lehighvalleylive.com have come up with suggestions for the following categories for businesses that may have what newbies in the area need. Suggestions have been taken from alumni, current students and neighbors in the area.

Use these locations as a guide, maybe even a starting point to find more favorite destinations. Keep in mind that some locations, including restaurants and live music venues may have age requirements. As always, be careful when traveling, use your discretion in unfamiliar areas and always bring a friend. It makes errands more fun anyways. Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments section below.

Editor's Note: Businesses are listed alphabetically by category. Approximate distance from each individual campus is also given.
