I have to admit that I was concerned about the whole Greek thing, too, when my son decided to attend Bucknell (he’s currently a freshman). He has had absolutely no problem with finding a tight-knit group of friends and things to do on campus. He is pretty busy with his classes, residential college, and playing club hockey. I think the key is to get out and do things and not wait for the fun to find you. He is going to keep an open mind about joining a fraternity next year. I think right now he doesn’t have strong feeling either way, but I am sure he will have these friends no matter what he does. I couldn’t have asked for a better college experience for him so far.

And I agree with morrismm - the bookstore is a very easy walk from the campus. Bucknell was not the only college that we visited that had the bookstore a little ways off campus, either.
