[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a physics instructor and taught at both Dickinson and Bucknell, and the students at Dickinson were much more with-it and focused.[/quote]

Interesting.  The students we've known who headed off to Bucknell definitely were more academically advanced than those going to Dickinson.

Dickinson is sort of like the Elon of the mid-Atlantic.[/quote]

PP here again. Well, I taught at both for about 3 years. These were mostly students in pre-med (/pre-health), not hard science majors. Dickinson students outclassed Bucknell students in my experience. That said, I don't doubt there are excellent students at both schools. But just based on my experiences, I'd say the smarter future physicians were at Dickinson.

I know people are going to scoff at this, but the best science students I taught were at Penn State. Not the best all-around students, but a big state school has more funding to attract talented physics and math majors, I suppose.[/quote]
