As someone who went through this process a year ago, I think where you feel most comfortable is the key and you really never know till you get on campus and become part of a community. All schools have their own pros and cons. I feel blessed that it all worked out for me and I am sure it will workout for the majority of the Class of 2024
When I was freaking and couldn’t decide on a school, my dad told me picking a college was not a 4 year jail sentence meaning transferring was always a an option if things didn’t work out. They usually do but it just may some (like me) time to find their place. Go with your gut.
Yes the academics are great at Bucknell but they are also great at Lafayette, Holy Cross, and so many others. For me what makes Bucknell so special is the people (students, admin, staff and professors) are all united. Maybe because we are so rural/small town we only have each other to rely on. If you want to see what Bucknell is all about check out the 2020 Senior Class Gift video on Facebook and listen to our Prez’s heartfelt words to the seniors… Ray Bucknell Class of 2020
