I had a friend IRL tell me the presentation was lackluster. That is a shame. My S is a senior at Bucknell and loving it. He has been able to do undergrad research from freshman year on and has had several faculty mentor him. He is an introvert and NOT the type to “sell” himself, which I mention because the profs went out of their way to engage him in the research.

We have been very happy with the access to courses and faculty. Also the housing is impressive as is the food and campus. The campus and student body is not as diverse as it could be, and probably not as diverse as other similar LACs. I do think the presence of engineering programs and a business school do mean that there is more of a preprofessional atmosphere than at, say, Swarthmore or Haverford.

Feel free to PM me if you have other questions.
