<p>Having visited both campuses and stayed on Bucknell’s campus for a conference, they have totally different feels. UCSD’s campus is sprawling with a much barren feel than the tree-covered campus at Bucknell. In addition to size, it’s also important to consider off-campus activities as well as access to transportation. UCSD is near a big city and airport, whereas Bucknell’s closest airport is in Williamsport (home of the Little League World Series). Also compare what’s available in San Diego and what’s available in Lewisburg: <a href=“http://www.bucknell.edu/About_Bucknell/Visiting_Bucknell/What_to_Do/index.html[/url]”>http://www.bucknell.edu/About_Bucknell/Visiting_Bucknell/What_to_Do/index.html</a>. Alot depends on what kind of kid your D is.</p>
<p>That said, one of H’s friends graduated from Bucknell and is now CEO of a biotech company (he’s in his 40s).</p>
<p>Good luck with the decision!</p>
