<p>I have two weeks to decide between Bucknell and Pitt, and I can't. So here's the rundown:</p>
<p>Pitt: 10k a year, i would room in Sutherland (honors dorm) which I like. I would major in Math-Econ. I like the city for its opportunities but will miss my suburban hometown. Concerns: Larger class sizes might mean less of a relationship with professors, and fewer research opportunities.</p>
<p>Bucknell: 25k a year, I would do the Interdisciplinary math-econ major (which is very challenging but I think I can handle it), and I definitely like the campus. Concerns: Dominance of greek life (I don't plan on rushing) and the snobbiness of kids.</p>
<p>Both: I plan on studying abroad, so if anyone could compare the programs of both schools, that would be great. I plan to use AP credit (I have 4/5's on 14 exams) especially to get out of required core classes. I might attend graduate school for something related to economics/finance, but I'm not sure yet. I have enough money to pay for either school (with plenty of savings leftover), but 60k is still 60k. I definitely want to have opportunities to become involved in research.</p>
<p>General questions: Anyone familiar with the econ/math department buildings--how nice are the classrooms and facilities? How much of the required core can be bipassed through ap credits (assuming i have all of the possible ap credits outside of foreign language)?</p>
<p>WHICH SCHOOL IS THE BETTER FIT???
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me with this conundrum.</p>
