gio is right. if you already live in the Northeast, a campus visit would clear lots of things up. however, i’ll answer what i can. the bucknell campus is quite friendly. i have some data from a post-graduate survey for the class of 2004. 24% went to grad school straight after. 4% were employed and at grad school. bucknell students do go to some well-ranked schools: columbia, umich, uva, cornell, upenn, yale, northwestern, JHU, stanford, duke, princeton. a lot of students seem to go to penn state, drexel, upitt, villanova.
this isnt too different from other colleges, you know, people will go to good and better grad schools. though if you graduate from a highly-ranked college i suppose its easier to get into the grad school you want.
bucknell’s engineering is probably its best major, followed by management. other than that, i really dont know which majors are most popular though you could find the data somewhere i guess. 67% of the class of 2004 were employed within six months(?) of graduation.

there’s a very detailed post-graduate survey for the class of 2005 here:

that’ll answer a lot of your questions if go through it. bucknell seems to be well-known enough in the northeast. i wouldnt know about other parts of the US since i am not from here.
there’s a shuttle on fridays and saturdays which takes you to walmart and the local mall. its easy enough to walk around lewisburg which is a small town. lots of people do have cars though. you can get a bicycle, those r very popular. most college people are proud of their school and the same goes for bucknell. the likes and dislikes r hard to answer, again, a college visit would clear that up for you.
