<p>We visited both with my son. Bucknell is more like a LAC (though it has engineering), compared to Lehigh which has lots of pre-professional students, though that is oversimplifying it.
Bucknell is more preppy than Lehigh. Lehigh has a pretty campus, while Bucknell’s is beautiful. Lehigh is in a small kinda run-down city while Bucknell has a cute little college town, albeit in the middle of nowhere. You can find plenty of partying at either school. Academics are excellent at either. You need to decide which one is for you…</p>
