Bucknell University is a place for those who would make full use of the terrific faculty, cumbersome workload, and excellent learning facilities. Whether by habit or sheer willpower, only the students who will work hard belong at Bucknell. It's a place for those interested in becoming a member of a small college town wherein achieving wisdom through demanding classwork is the focus. Of course, there are secondary guidelines, such as enjoying a cold weather climate, loving a relatively small population size, and the need for delicious food in the cafeteria. But primarily, Bucknell is for those destined for greatness.
