<p>I only visited (and obviously go to) Wake, but my brother, who is a junior in high school, has visited both. He likes Wake better and is unsure if he will apply, but he hated Bucknell (which is weird because we all thought he’d love it). His main complaints were the outside town (apparently it’s pretty quiet) and that the students were too dressed down (to be fair, at Wake he thinks they dress up too much). On his tour, he saw students walking around in pajama pants and thought it was inappropriate. He also hates the cold. </p>
<p>To be fair, he also doesn’t really love Wake, but he likes it better than Bucknell. Wake doesn’t have engineering, though, so that might be an important thing to consider if you’re serious about it (my brother is also looking into engineering, which is why he might not even consider applying to Wake).</p>
