[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got significant merit and need—based aid at Bucknell and does not drink or go to wild parties. That just never appealed to her. She was very happy at Bucknell and easily found her group. Not everyone there parties or is in a sorority or fraternity. [/quote]

I used to teach there many years ago.  The students are a mixed bag; many of them unfortunately do fit the stereotype—I remember the first time I attended the Chrysanthemum Ball seeing all these young women being helped back to their dorms by friends because they were too drunk to walk.

But there are also many nice, serious students.  You can get an excellent education because the school is really focused on what I’d call “customer service” (good teaching evaluations).  Advanced course offerings can be limited due to being a liberal arts college.  Lewisburg is rural and isolated but also safe and cozy, not like UPenn or Temple.  It isn’t diverse, or at least it wasn’t in my time, so if you’re a minority be aware of that.[/quote]
