Most people who are not affiliated with any of these schools would view them the same. The tiny differences people tend to focus on here just don’t matter. |

Much better reputation in Wall Street analyst recruiting at Colgate. Bucknell not even listed. https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools |

It's probably similar to a lot of other SLACs. Small class sizes, only professors teaching classes (I think this is big advantage compared to what I see at the R1 where I work). I have friends who work here and other SLACs on the east coast.
A lot of privileged kids, a lot of obnoxious/frat kids, a lot of quirky kids, a lot of really nice grounded kids, and a lot of really bright and clever kids - just like most SLACs on the east coast. |
