I am in CHOICE housing, which is substance-free, meaning no alcohol or drugs allowed. I am very happy with this program and would definitely recommend it. In CHOICE, you don't…
I live in Vedder, the dorm for drunken types. It is difficult to get work done, sleep, enjoy a tv show, or facetime while people are pregaming. Everyone assumes you…
Almost all of the dorms have AC. They are all pretty spacious, and everything on campus is in easy walking distance--it only takes about 8 minutes to walk from…
Almost every dorm is air conditioned and have more than enough room for students. There are a few older dorms that are still being updated, but the vast majority…
There's not a lot of variety and there's fast food-esque options in the upperclassmen food plans but it's not completely awful. Recently, the dining areas are becoming more eco- friendly by getting rid of the plastic take out containers and using brown paper bags (the plastic ones are brought out when it's raining/snowing).
Read MoreI hate the food, but my peers love it. My hometown is an area known for great food and stellar restaurants. I firmly believe in freshness and quality. A big part of the problem is the preparation. The dining hall employees are not the cleanest in their habits such as improper food handling and cross contamination. The pasta is wet, the marinara is watery, the frozen veggies are cooked to death, and many things are cheese based. I go to nearby chain restaurants or order takeout. My meal plan, fortunately, is covered by aid, so I am not wasting my family's money. The local Starbucks and the coffee at Barnes and Noble "powered by Starbucks" are a waste of money. The student employees simply do not have the skill set to brew a proper cup of coffee. This area is so antiquated that the soft serve ice cream shop, the Freez, is spelled without an "e" on the end. The missing "e" must represent the missing flavor. On the other hand, Sweet Frog's froyo is good.
Read MoreIt gets fairly monotonous quickly. It's better if you're not a picky eater.
Read MoreIt's okay, the town is small so there aren't many options. I didn't get a chance to eat in the cafeteria, but I've heard good things, just that it gets old after a while.
Read MoreI've been told that Bucknell provides one of the best food services. It can't compare to eating at home, but as far as college fare goes, it's tops. It's open 24/7 though so beware of the Freshman 15+. Plus the milkshakes at 7th Street are a must.
Read MoreThe food at Bucknell is fine. I personally enjoy the salad bar and make elaborate salads to add variety to my meals. I try and shy away from the pizza and heavy pastas on campus.
Read MoreThe cafe is wonderful! It is all you can eat whenever you want. As a freshman you are assigned an unlimited cafe plan. Fresh food and many choices are available all the time!
Read MoreDining Services is actually remarkably on point with cleanliness and quality. You can get anything from burgers to sandwiches to sushi at Bucknell's diverse dining hall. Check out off campus eateries like Zelda's or Maya's for a small cafe and great study environment.
Read MoreNo Greek life until sophomore year.
Read MoreThis school has a huge Greek life with a delayed rush--you can't participate until you're a Sophomore, which is nice because it gives you a chance to adjust to college life and to discover what Greek life is all about for those of us who aren't so sure.
Read MoreGreek life definitely exists in Bucknell, but I don't think that detracts at all from the social scene. I suppose guys feel more pressure to join a frat or athletic team if they want to be part of the party scene, but girls can flit in and out of the party scene regardless of whether or not they are in a sorority.
Read MoreThis is huge at Bucknell. You are most likely the minority if you are not involved in Greek life. I am not in Greek life but I am an athlete. Not being involved with the Greek life has not really had any effect on me. You can still have a great time, but if you do want to go greek, Bucknell is the right place!
Read MoreGreek Life makes up 60% of upperclassmen. It is huge at Bucknell.
Read MoreGreek life, as I have said, is a staple to Bucknell's social scene. Be prepared to join a fraternity or sorority. If not, clubs and sports team will provide you with a social outlet.
Read MoreAbout 70-75% of the students at Bucknell are in a fraternity or sorority. It goes without saying, then, that Greek life here is HUGE. The fraternities have their own houses, while the sororities live in one sorority mansion as we like to call it. All of the frats and sororities are extremely close to one another, and often host parties and campus events together. If you want to join an organization that does good things for others and also provides you with a support system and family here, then Greek life is for you.
Read MoreGreek life is extremely prominent at Bucknell. While joining a fraternity or sorority is not something you have to do to have fun, it does open a lot of doors and give you a lot of opportunities. It is a great way to meet people, and because you cannot rush until your sophomore year you are still able to meet people outside of your organization.
