Campus Visit Notes for Bucknell University


Visit Description:

Our visit was short because we were trying to do a lot, but impressive. My daughter loved it. It was mentioned elsewhere that the campus is full of impossibly good looking people, which is VERY true. I might add they also are impossbily chipper and friendly. This may not be for everyone, but really appealed to my daughter (rather cute and chipper herself). Also, the students we met seemed very engaged in their classes and activities.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Lewisburg hotel. Convenient, but the room was very sad.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

The bar at Lewisburg inn is really a nice, friendly place to grab an appitizer.
