Bucknell vs Schreyer Honors College

Applying to College

<p>For those of you who are not familiar with the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State: <a href="http://www.scholars.psu.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.scholars.psu.edu&lt;/a> OR en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schreyer<em>Honors</em>College</p>

<p>I am having a very difficult time deciding between Bucknell and Penn State. PSU offered me admission into the honors program, and Bucknell offered me a Presidential Fellowship (work 6-10 hours per week doing research with a professor who serves as a personal mentor). If anyone has any insight as to which is better please let me know.</p>

<p>Also, money is not a concern because both schools will cost the same due to scholarships.</p>

<p>Anyone with thoughts?</p>

<p>My personal choice would strongly be Bucknell, because it's a smaller, select student body receiving a lot of close, personal attention, and I'm really big on associating with a select peer group. With huge student bodies comes anonymity, and anonymity breeds a lot of negative outcomes. However, if you're really into the party scene and big-time football, PSU would be a lot of fun, no doubt about it.</p>
