College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Bucknell University Students

Read samples from the Bucknell University guide below:

Academics

“For the most part, all of the classes are really interesting. The teachers are easily approachable, and they are always willing to help you outside of class if you are confused about the subject matter.”

Diversity

“The campus lacks a lot in the diversity department. There is some diversity, but for the most part, you will find yourself in a middle-high-class, white community.”

Guys & Girls

“I would describe Bucknell students as very preppy. Sometimes the school is referred to as the ‘country club school of the east.’ Most people are from the New Jersey or New York area, and then a large population is from the West Coast. There’s a good mix on...”

Athletics

“Sports are an important part of the campus, but definitely not the biggest part. Occasionally, students go to games, but it is not a huge part of weekend events.”

Bucknell’s academic community truly is a community. Students and professors constantly interact with each other in and outside of the classroom.

Students from all over the United States and the world really help to bring more diversity to Bucknell with their ideals, customs, and upbringing. Bucknell is certainly not a private school for mainly people...

Guys & Girls

It’s no secret—Bucknell does have an unnatural amount of “really, really, ridiculously good-looking” people. (There was actually a Bucknell T-shirt made with that line on the back!) Most students are very conscious about health and fashion and care about their physical appearance. Bucknellians seem to have a certain amount of natural hotness, though, that can’t come from the gym or make up or the right clothes. Many Bucknellians just seem to have good genes. Many students report that it’s strange to go back...

Athletics

There are many athletes on Bucknell’s campus, as well as successful sports teams. However, since the school is small, there’s not a significant amount of team spirit amongst fans. There are a few sports events each year that many Bucknellians make it out to watch, like Homecoming (football) and Midnight Madness (basketball). Other than that, though, attendance at sports events is low.

Bucknell has many new and recently renovated athletic facilities. In general, the Bucknell campus is very athletic, with...
