My daughter is finishing her second year at Bucknell, majoring in Civil Engineering. Shortly after that last post Bucknell came through with some scholarship money, enough to bring it to within the range we felt we could do. Bucknell was her first choice and was the best fit for her. I understand the desire to go away - when I was 18 and my parents brought up the state university 1/2 an hour away, my response was “No how, no way.”

Bucknell has been a good choice for her and the engineering program has been all that it was purported. She will graduate with about $24K in loans, as did her brother who graduated from William & Mary last year. He is working and is off the payroll. So, two more years of tuition and then we can worry about the things the house needs (roof, windows, siding, driveway, furnace, a/c, septic, etc.).

Thanks for asking and good luck!
