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.

Bucjnell
Lehigh

Best school in this bunch is Colgate by a mile.


No, not really

Bucknell stem is way stronger than Colgate

Bucknell places in finance stronger than Colgate

What program is stronger at Colgate?



Much better reputation in Wall Street analyst recruiting at Colgate. Bucknell not even listed.

According to this BYU and PSU are better than any three of these schools?


Don’t hate the the messenger. Look at all the data.

My kid applied to all 3. Let’s see how it shakes out.

Lehigh
Colgate
Bucknell and Lafayette tied


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.

We may go look at it. They have been emailing my son aggressively. May be a good safety.
