Can anyone provide any scoop on Residential colleges at Bucknell? Are they popular? Do a lot of kids join them? Or is it a housing option one should avoid? Thanks.
Nothing to worry about. A lot of kids join the residential colleges. Not only is it a quick and easy way to make friends, but the res college students are housed in the best dorms. You should definitely go for it if you are interested,
I concur with benreb. My D is a rising junior and spent two years in residential college - last year working as as a junior fellow. Definitely the nicest dorms and there were all types of kids on the hall even in the arts residential college there were athletes, partiers, engineers as well as what one would think of as more “artsy” types.
