<p>It’s not that it’s hard to pick a strength. You don’t provide any insight into your interests or any clue as to what you might study.</p>
<p>Bucknell ranks near the top of small liberal arts colleges and it’s engineering program has always been considered a strength.</p>
<p>I graduated many years ago but can comment on the ‘rural’ nature of the setting. I came from the Philadelphia suburbs and have lived in or near big cities ever since graduating. I look back on my time in rural Pennsylvania (Lewisburg is a county seat with a great deal of history and has received recognition as one of the most liveable cities in the U.S. in its size category) with a great deal of fondness for the slower pace of life and the ability to quickly feel at home. It still feels like home whenver I’m back and I’m old enough for all but a few of the faculty and administrators I knew to no longer be there.</p>
<p>I’m sure that some are disappointed that it’s not closer to a big city – I never was. But I got to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Ithaca and even Harrisburg while at Bucknell and I never had a car while there.</p>
