Why I chose Bucknell: "I chose Bucknell because the professors' focus on teaching rather than research, and the class sizes are small so you get personal attention. Bucknell made it possible for me to both be an engineer and study abroad. And of course there were the many athletic opportunities, beautiful campus, and great food."
