One thing I would change about Bucknell is moving it closer to a major city. It is the perfect size, as everyone has the ability to stand out but still has the opportunity to meet new people all the time. People are impressed with the Bucknell name, as it has an excellent reputation. Lewisburg as a town is nothing without Bucknell's campus. There is a lot of school pride when it comes to men's basketball games.

- If I could change one thing, I'd change Greek life. People are so involved in Greek life that they don't get involved as much in other clubs. - I think the size of the school is good. I don't think it should be too big. We definitely live in the "Bucknell bubble" and aren't involved that much with the community. - I don't particularly agree with the way Bucknell is run. I think it's unfair to have to pay Bucknell tuition even when you're abroad. Bucknell does it to get the additional money. - I guess there is a certain amount of school pride. You see a lot of ppl with Bucknell sweatshirts or pants around campus. - I have gotten to know some of the professors and staff at Bucknell quite well. I don't know if that's typical. I usually tend to take smaller classes and go to office hours, but the conversations that I have with them are always very interesting and the professors are really helpful.

The best thing about Bucknell is the size and the comfort of your friends here. I spent a lot of time at 7th street cafe and I go to the gym a lot too. I loved orientation, it was a lot of fun with color wars and the like. Students complain about the food prices a lot and about the administration.

Homogenous, but they want to change it, and are willing to let students do their part any way they can. Liberal faculty, Conservative administration Great size, enough to feel comfortable and know someone in a room, but still be able to meet new people - even in your senior year!

The best thing about Bucknell is our professors. They are not only incredibly intelligent, as one would expect professors at an institution with Bucknell's reputation to be, but are also dedicated. They come onto campus on weekends, schedule hours outside of class to help you, and are, to put it plainly, visibly devoted to their jobs. One thing I would change about Bucknell is the homogeneity of our campus. I do not come from a rich family, and I consider myself to be very down to earth, and although I have definitely found my niche at Bucknell, it was honestly much more difficult than I would have liked. It is disheartening to see students looking down upon those that hold an on-campus job, or upon those of us that are not in a sorority. One gripe I have regarding the administration is its lack of concern for current student concerns. Our administration at the present seems to be more concerned with building an endowment and getting donations from alumni and parents, that it ignores many student needs. Too many times have I appealed to a member of the administration only to be shot down without even a "well, let's meet and talk about it."
