Bucknell University Top Questions

What students tend to wear to differs with each person. Some girls overdress in dresses and heels , while some guys come to class in sweatpants and a t-shirt. I usually wear jeans, a nice top, either flipflops or my chucks and some matching jewelry. I don't want to over dress, but I still want to look nice. Students are politicaly aware and active here at Bucknell. There are voter registration drives and both the Conservative club and Campus Democrates publish their own newspapers and bring speakers to campus.

There are a huge range of interests in people at Bucknell, all of it reflected in the variety of activities, majors, and organizations. I feel most people fit in fine here.

Greek life dominates the social scene. You can't walk around campus without seeing at least 1 person wearing his or her letters.

Students at Bucknell are the part I don't like. Although everyone can find a niche, its much harder for some people than others. I've definately spent more time here complaining about the student body than anything else. Most of them come from very well-to-do backgrounds, and aren't sympathetic at all to those who don't. Students with limited means will definately have a harder time fitting in at Bucknell. Although there isn't much on campus you need money for, its clear who has it - girls come to class in expensive clothes with expensive handbags. Fashion is really important to most Bucknellians. There are, however, isolated groups of really amazing people. If you're looking for them, they're there, they're just hard to find. I love the people I work with at my campus job, and my extracurriculars have not always been typical, so I've met great people there.

I'd say there are a lot of people here that are probably better off socio economically than I am. I usually wear jeans and a tshirt/sweatshirt, but on any give day there are people more dressed up or less dressed up. Four tables: athletes, sorority girls, gamers, 'regulars'. A lot of students seem to be from PA, NY, NJ, CA. Theres quite the variety. Some are politically active, personally I'm not so I couldnt tell you much about it.

Most Bucknell students are from Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

We are pretty cool about it. But people like to use racist words, but they usually dont mean it. Devil worshipers... i dont know Nice clothes or crappy clothes. 90$ lacoste or a free t shirt. Ye, kinda. Let me think. Freshman.... Sophomores... thats it. New york (Long Island pricks), New Jersey (ruff mother fuckers) and California (treehuggers) Some poor falk like me, some nice rich kids, and obviously some rich bastards. You are not considered a rich bastard unless you own a building at bucknell or have your own religion. Mostly conservative. Plus dont forget the treehugers. Thats the only thing that keeps us going.

Bucknell is known for its affluent, conservative student body. Many students come from an upper-class background, and many are politically conservative (strangely, though, they're more apathetic than politically active). Students largely seem to be concerned with future salaries, though.

Most students are involved in campus activities. It's easy to find something that you're interested in, or you could always start your own club. Diversity is kind of an issue still at Bucknell, though not as much as it was a few years ago. Most people are Caucasian so minorities might feel out of place. The majority of students come from the east coast, though there are a bunch from California and other midwest and west coast states too.

Students at Bucknell are mostly from upper middle class to upper class backgrounds and almost all fit into the "preppy" stereotype. People dress very fashionably to go to class, and are generally very concerned with their appearance - hence they frequent the gym alot. Most Bucknell students are from New York, PA, and MD. Students don't seem very politically active and I would say while campus is still fairly liberal, for a college campus it is pretty conservative. The LGBT and ethnic roups on campus are pretty active and visible on campus though the student body is not very diverse.
