Richmond, Bucknell

For a science major you want Colgate, Lehigh, or Bucknell

For business you may want Lehigh for its proximity to NYC but Colgate and Bucknell have equally strong programs

For engineering Lehigh is above the rest, but Bucknell is fine too.

I know nothing about W&L other than its lily white frat nonsense reputation.

Richmond has a new Gottwald Science Center, and it's beautiful (we toured) with many quality science options. So your insight is pretty worthless.

PP never said that you CAN'T be a science major at Richmond. They are saying that the other schools are stronger in the sciences.

Jobs coming out of the humanities are dying.

I’m not entirely sure there were ever quality jobs available for humanities majors.

Well you would be wrong, because I attended a liberal arts college and all my humanities majors friends are doing really well for themselves, by any measure (financial, prestige, doing good in the world, having fun in their jobs).

Agree that Bucknell, Colgate, and Lehigh all are in Richmond's market basket for a lot of kids. GW, NYU, BU, and Northeastern for some, too. Also Davidson and maybe W&L. Denison if you're looking for merit aid. Lewis & Clark and Occidental on the other coast.

Bucknell tried to come off as an Ivy when we toured. It was laughable. The tour guides were the only nice ones, but they are all financial aid kids. The prestige they try to have is fake. The kids are mainly private school kids

Richmond has a very strong undergraduate business program. Google is your friend.

PO has too many axes to grind to other with googling.

Both mediocre. And Bucknell is literally in the middle of nowhere. You're better off at one of your state schools.

A beautiful building does not equal a reputable science program.

Richmond is great if you want to stay in VA, but no one outside of this are has any idea how hard it is to get into.

PP here. Same here - definitely a wall street feeder. Not the atmosphere I personally wanted for my kids and there's likely flexibility for full pay private school kids in terms of academic performance and admittance but overall it's a well regarded school and most of the kids that are accepted have put up decent grades.
