Bucknell is an amazing school for academics. Their sports mentality is still old school & outdated. For example, the soccer team continues to this day, with interim Coach Brown, a kick & run mentality. Bucknell needs to clean house of these outdated coaches & move towards a more technical European style of soccer to advance Bucknell in soccer.

Bucknell is an amazing place with unlimited opportunities to further yourself in your career. In terms of social life, the people are amazing and there's always something you can go to. As someone who was not in Greek Life, you do not necessarily need it to have fun. Like anywhere, its what you make of it. And Bucknell can be amazing for anybody.

A great smaller school with 3 colleges, including Management and Engineering. Management has some unique programs and courses. Professors take the time to know you and help you. A lot to do on campus and Lewisburg is a cute town with bars, restaurants, etc. Campus location creates a bit of a bubble, but for 4 years it is fun to be in this bubble.

Cant wait to get out. Whether youre under the tyranny of greek life or not, if you dont fit in, good luck. Perhaps transfer? Its not worth wasting 4 years in amish country if you're not into binge drinking and seeing your 'number' skyrocket.
