Hello, I am deciding between Case Western and Bucknell. I’m getting similar money from both schools. I had the chance of visitng Bucknell but not for Case.

Bucknell’s campus was nice. The dorms could have been better. How is Case’s dorm for freshmen? for upperclassmen?

It seems like more people are happy at Bucknell than at Case. But I am an Asian guy and I think that it can be that only the whites are happy in that place as it is a fairly homogeneous school (87%white, 5% asian). I don’t know if I will be happy there. Case however is more diverse (and it’s bigger). But then Case has less female and too many “geeks”…of course this is only from what i’ve heard from others…

I am currently admitted as undecided in the arts and sciences schools of both Case and Bucknell. At this point, my possible majors are (ranked in probablity) :

1. Chemistry or Chemical Engineering

2. Business

3. Other engineering

4. International relations

Please help me decide which college I should go to. I don’t care about size or location. First priority is academical fitness/superiority, and the second is happiness. And it would be nice if the dorm was nice.

Thank you
