This place is a joke; I truly believe that Reddit offers a better education in any of the STEM subjects they -allegedly- offer. Their teaching program, which I understand is very popular, has produced some of the most lack-luster, sub-par, and under-performing educators and student teachers I have ever had to learn under or work with. I have nothing against Liberal Arts colleges; I think they are a wonderful thing when done correctly. I will not argue that their campus is nice, but there are even nicer collegiate campuses a stone's throw away that offer inifnitely more beneficial oppurtunities, internships, and majors. Furthermore, their admissions office is like a pesky drunk who does not possess the rudimentary mental capacity for comprehending basic phrases like 'no' and 'I'm not interested'; they hound potential applicants relentlessly. I know this is normal for some colleges, but all other incidents of this I have encountered have ended shortly after I spoke up about my discomfort. This has not been the case with this self-proclaimed 'institute of learning'. Truly one of the greatest wastes of time and money; federal prison would be a bettter way to spend one's time.

Some colleagues and I went to Susquehanna University recently for a conference. The majority of…read morethe day, our group was in a large room in the library. It was a comfortable space, although it did get a bit warm during the second half of the day. The library itself was a cool space - colorful, comfortable and modern. We walked over to a room in the Athletics Center for lunch, and boy what a lunch that was. We walked in really just expecting sandwiches and maybe a salad, but we ended with a buffet of grilled chicken with some kind of Italian topping on it, a nice pasta dish, a tasty quinoa salad, a surprisingly good fennel, orange and spinach salad, and some fresh bread and butter. Delicious (and cold!) cheesecake for dessert. Kudos to the Dining Services staff for that delicious lunch, and also for the snacks that came out in the afternoon (freshly fried pita chips, homemade spinach dip, roasted veggies and brownies - yes please!). There was breakfast as well, but I had eaten at the hotel, so I just had some fruit. Anyway, very impressive. Overall, it was a great conference. Thanks also to the Susquehanna staff who hosted it!

I went to Bucknell for one semester and had a pretty negative experience which led me to leave the…read moreUniversity halfway through the year. In terms of academics, the classes were nice and the professors were lovely people, but I would recommend making sure that your chosen major is something that the University specializes in. I chose to go there for theatre, and I found that they were lacking in performance opportunities and resources for the arts in general. The classes were all beginner level, and did not extend beyond basic training. I felt like I was repeating middle/high school level classes. Bucknell is great for math, science, and engineering majors. If you are the type of person that cares about having things to do off campus, Lewisburg is not the place for you. There are very few options for entertainment and trying to shop without having access to a car is very difficult. The nearby towns are just as barren as Lewisburg. You will inevitably get stuck on campus. If you have any kind of food allergies or need for meal plan accommodations, good luck getting dining services to take you seriously. It took me six weeks of fighting the school and getting my parents and healthcare providers involved to convince them to let me eat somewhere other than the main food hall. The staff are not careful about cross-contamination and do not understand allergies at all. The social life on campus is nearly non-existent. Unless you are in a frat/sorority, it is very difficult to find a social outlet and make friends. I am personally not interested in sororities, but I found myself having to gravitate toward them to have something to do most days. It was incredibly hard to find information about clubs and groups, and the few that I joined were nearly inactive. If you care about diversity and inclusion, Bucknell is not the right university to attend. The majority of the students are white upper-middle class students who come from very rich families and they all look and talk the same. There is a severe gossip culture on campus, and the friends you make will more than likely be quite shallow. It feels like being trapped in middle school and the campus/student population is tiny so there is really nowhere to escape if you get caught in the wrong crowd of people. Most people that I met there had to rely on their academics to stay occupied and otherwise felt miserable because of the lack of on and off campus activities. Even if you do find activities that suit you, it is very hard to find nice, trustworthy people. I started there having plenty of friends and only had one when I left due to the disingenuous nature of the student body. If there is anything nice I can say, it is that the campus is beautiful, and you can definitely rely on the professors to have your back if nobody else does. If you know that Bucknell is the place for you, I wouldn't want you to be turned away by my review. My advice is just to make sure that if you do choose to go there, you are prepared for the environment: small town, intense party and frat/sorority culture, a very focused area of expertise, and a real and somewhat concerning lack of diversity and inclusion.

Meter parking across the street. (.25 for 25 minutes) I had visual aids, aka screenshots, of the gear we wanted. Lisa, the Manager, was very helpful, and even gave me 20% off for Alumni discount.
