Visit Description:

I have visited Bucknell four times, and each time I love it even more. As an accepted early decision student, I cannot wait to go to Bucknell in the fall. Everything about the school seems perfect: the campus is beautiful, the students are very friendly, the classes are interesting, and Lewisburg is small but lovely.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

We always stay at the Country Inn and Suites and love it there. It's very clean and the staff is very friendly.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

The drive-ins on the other side of the Susquehanna. They offer a great view of the river and delicious food.
