Bucknell vs. Lafayette

Hi everyone, I am an international student studying in Mass. as a senior. I am right now having a dilemma choosing between Bucknell and Lafayette to apply ED for engineering major. Does anyone have advice for me? Thanks in advance.

Need more information about what you are looking for in a college. The schools are very similar overall. Both are LACs with engineering. Lafayette has 42% STEM majors; Bucknell has 35% STEM majors.

Some differences:
Size - Lafayette is about 2400 undergrads (no grads); Bucknell is about 3500 undergrads (150 grads).
Location - Lafayette is in Easton, PA, a small city, which is part of the Lehigh Valley with Bethlehem and Allentown, an area of about 800,000 people, about 1 hour from NYC and Philadelphia; Bucknell is in Lewisburg, PA, a small town in the middle of PA, about 3 hours from NYC and Philadelphia.
