Whoever said college takes five years now probably didn't go to Bucknell since 85% of grads still make it out in 4. The price could keep students from lingering, however they do offer financial aid to over half of the student body. Students here are amazingly efficient considering they manage to study and earn credits in between parties. Most people either go Greek or... go Greek. The social scene is whatever the fraternity or sorority has planned and the basketball games are another great way to get excited about pre-funking.
The Prudent Student (October 12, 2009)
Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other. Bucknell educates men and women for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership characterized by continued intellectual exploration, creativity, and imagination. A Bucknell education enables students to interact daily with faculty who exemplify a passion for learning and a dedication to teaching and scholarship. Bucknell fosters a residential, co-curricular environment in which students develop intellectual maturity, personal conviction and strength of character, informed by a deep understanding of different cultures and diverse perspectives. Bucknell seeks to educate our students to serve the common good and to promote justice in ways sensitive to the moral and ethical dimensions of life.
Bucknell's rich history and heritage will influence its planning for the future. Bucknell's potential as an institution of higher learning extends beyond that of a traditional liberal arts college by virtue of its larger size and expansive programs. The University's broader spectrum of disciplines and courses of study within a diverse and active residential campus community enhance the quality of all aspects of the undergraduate experience, both in and out of the classroom.

The campus is the perfect size. You can get anywhere without a far walk

There are a lot of shops downtown, but students typically hang out at the same places
