Bucknell University Top Questions

The worst thing about Bucknell University is how people tend to clump together into groups and only interact with a few people. This is most prominent among international students and fraternities and serorities. Greek life encompases a large student population at Bucknell, and one can be percieved as a minority and be excluded from various friendships and social events if not a participant.

I really have nothing bad to say about the school. It was the best experience of my life.

There was no 'worst' thing about Bucknell. The best way to answer this question is to note that the campus is small (less than 4,000 students total) and that it's not close to any metropolitan location. This had advantages, including that the campus location created a more tight-knit student community.

The worst thing about Bucknell may be that the coursework is so hard. This may simultaneously be the best thing, but it's not too riveting whilst one is doing it. I mean I am quite glad that school is so challenging, because I know in the long run I will benefit from it. My high school friends at more laid back and easier universities enjoy fun pastimes more often. But in the end, I will be more prepared for a career. So in answer, the worst thing is that completing homework and studying is so painful while being done.

The worst thing about Bucknell is the lack of diversity. Almost every person is of the same race and background.

The campus setup

While students are generally accepting, gay students are a definitely minority on our campus. Hence, my life can sometimes be a bit more difficult than that of other students.

There is a lack of diversity on campus. Not neccesarily racial or ethnic, but most students tend to be preppy.

It could probably be more ethnically diverse.

Bucknell is all hills.
