Campus Visit Notes for Bucknell University


Visit Description:

It was very informative and made me very interested in Bucknell. The campus is walkable, self contained. It seemed to have alot of activities for the students. Trips, concerts, etc. signs were posted. There was a great little cafe on campus with milkshakes (yum) and we saw students hanging out there with the professors.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Stayed in the Turkey Hill Inn, in Bloomsburg. Very nice, 15 mins from campus

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Parking was easy, admissions office easy to find.
