<p>So, this winter I visited Bucknell along with Dickinson, F&M, and Gettysburg College. I will also review those in their respective forums. I’m a sophomore in HS, but we don’t visit Pennsylvania much so even though it’s a little early, we visited these 4 great schools.</p>
<p>So I came to Bucknell college and I noticed how much larger it is then the three other schools I visited. The campus is really nice, and there is plenty of plants and grass between the buildings.</p>
<p>They have a great athletic facility. I’m interested in swimming so their pool was phenominal but also the workout areas are very nice. They had a good idea to have two differant facilities, one for the general student body and one for athletes. This is clever because athletes often hog the workout machines.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to have to workout, try going up the quad route. It’s very prett, but climbing uphill for about a fourth of a mile just to get to the admissions was tiring! </p>
<p>Once we finally got to the admissions building, I thought the receptionist was very nice. I know, it’s not that big of a deal, but I thought she was very nice.<br>
Also a chemistry professor walked by and introduced herself.</p>
<p>In the office, there were individual flyers for differant majors. I was shocked about how many different majors there are. The benefit of having a larger liberal arts school is more options. </p>
<p>My dad had taught there for a couple years, and he has mixed feelings about<br>
Bucknell. The good things he says are that the students there tend to be bright, and it’s a very good education. It has a good reputation, and is probably the most well heard of out of the 4 I visited. I know that it may not sound very important; but when I was talking to a couple of my friends, they had heard about Bucknell and Dickinson, which samples the reputation of both. </p>
<p>However, there is a lot of drinking at that school; especially in the frats. But honestly, students will drink anywhere they go, so it shouldn’t deter you. But<br>
parents, maybe if you’re sending your kid off to bucknell maybe you should explain REALISTIC expectations or maybe teach your children how to responsibly drink.</p>
<p>My dad also said there is a series of underground tunnels that sometimes students explore. That sounds interesting although I doubt they are still up. And their library is very pretty!</p>
<p>Any questions or comments? I’d love to know I didn’t spend all this time typing for no good reason.</p>
