<p>I'm applying rd and visited bucknell and colgate. Academically I loved both schools- academics are really important to me. And socially I love to have a good time and school spirits definitely a plus. However at the same time I'm pretty liberal, laid back and really into music indie and classic rock. I want to meet people I can genuinely connect with not just on a superficial Greek level. Which would be better for a more diverse and intellectual student body where I could go to a football game but also an open mic night or a Buddhist chant circle? Or are neither good places for this</p>
<p>I think Colgate would be great for this, though I can’t speak for Bucknell. WRCU is Colgate’s radio station ([|</a> wrcu 90.1 fm | main |](<a href=“http://www.wrcufm.com/]|”>http://www.wrcufm.com/)) and a great way to develop and share your interest in music with like-minded people. Also if SCOPE is still around they were the group that brought bands to campus. There’s a wide variety of cultural and religious events on campus, music at the Barge coffee shop in town, etc.</p>
<p>Hamilton might not have quite the same activities as, say, NYU, but there was always a lot of different stuff going on.</p>
<p>thank you for your detailed response! i appreciate it a lot. that sounds really nice(:</p>
