[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more. Emory has a 3-2 program with Georgia Tech that seems to be really well supported. DS is trying to decide between that and Bucknell engineering this week, which is one of the few SLACs with engineering.[/quote]

Interesting choices PP, good luck to your DS! Can you share what he thought of Bucknell? As you say, it's one of the few SLACs with engineering, so it's interesting to my DC too. - OP[/quote]

The engineering program at Bucknell is small and collaborative with professors, instead of TA's, in the classroom.  Like most engineering programs, it seems to be a very rigorous education. Unlike some other bigger engineering programs where DS was accepted, at Bucknell DS was admitted to a specific major (EE).  I get the idea that if he wants to switch engineering majors it might be tough. Part of the attraction of an SLAC was that DS also likes writing and English Literature, but there isn't going to be much room in the schedule for those subjects, even at a SLAC like Bucknell.  Finally, he likes the overall vibe at Bucknell -- an engaged student body and lots of school spirit.  The last part is the biggest contrast with Emory.[/quote]

Thanks for answering PP. Best of luck to your DS.[/quote]
