Things to Consider

Bucknell University

  • 1 CRITICAL MISMATCH: Rural small-town location (population 5,600) is opposite of urban/near-city preference; closest cities 1+ hour away, major cities 3+ hours
  • 2 Limited sunshine (176 days/year, below national average) with cold, gray Pennsylvania winters contradicts 'loves sunshine' preference
  • 3 Greek life dominates social scene at 40-45% participation, which may feel exclusive despite non-Greek options
  • 4 Isolated location creates transportation challenges; car helpful for leaving campus, limited public transit
  • 5 Relatively homogeneous student body with lower economic diversity (12-14% Pell Grant recipients) compared to urban schools
