I'll agree with mythmom about the similarity of the student bodies at NE LAcs. they do tend to shoot for the same mix usually and have the same goals as to the student body they want to maintain. As for Bucknell, there are about 180 engineers in my 2nd year class of 900 or so. & there are 188 in the freshman year. Plus you have your science and math types as well. bucknell is a good engineering school so it draws its share of "nerds". Anyway, you meet many different types of people in college and very few people will feel left out. You're likely to meet people like yourself and who have your interests eventually.

I am an international student who missed both the international student orientation, the normal orientation, and the first week of classes. I had no problem adjusting and settling.

but to be sure, you'll see the "popular kids", as you put it. but if you're not one of them, you WON'T be left out.
