<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>Have you visited the campuses yet? I go to Penn State University Park and love it. Bucknell and Penn State are both great schools. You can't really go wrong picking between the two. The honors program at Penn State is quite prestigious, but I am sure the presidential fellowship is as well. You probably should just spend a weekend visiting and see which campus feels right. Hell, the blue and white spring football game (april 21st) is this weekend. You could check that out. It will give you a good feel of all the support and connection that our alumni have with the university. The people are all very nice and love Penn State, but I will admit that the people I have met from Bucknell were very intelligent and friendly as well. Just know, if you decide to come to Penn State you will never regret it. Best of luck with your decision.</p>
