<p>Just another view here:</p>
<p>My son is at Bucknell this year and loves it! Freshman do not rush, but I doubt that he will join a fraternity next year. He has plenty to do as a non-Greek. He is more on the “grunge” side…but does not feel that it is too “preppy.” We are from south Texas. It was his favorite campus from all of his visits. We are middle class, and he is receiving 1/2 tuition.</p>
<p>His classes are small, the largest is a Biology lecture with 45 students. He has already joined a political group, the debate club, and is writing for a campus publication. </p>
<p>Drinking continues to be an issue. They have a mandatory alcohol awareness class for freshmen and a point system for alcohol infractions. </p>
<p>The campus is lovely.</p>
