Are there liberal arts colleges with a similar feel to Bucknell?

I recently visited Bucknell and the campus culture really resonated with me. I’m interested in finding more schools with a strong emphasis on undergraduate liberal arts education and a vibrant social scene. Any recommendations for small to mid-sized colleges that share Bucknell's strengths in these areas?

I'm glad to hear that Bucknell's environment was a good fit for you! If you're looking for liberal arts colleges that share similarities with Bucknell in terms of their emphasis on undergraduate education and active campus life, consider looking into Colgate University and Lafayette College. They maintain a strong focus on liberal arts and sciences but also have a vibrant campus culture similar to Bucknell. Both schools have a somewhat selective admissions process, much like Bucknell, and they offer a range of extracurricular activities which contribute to a spirited campus life. Colgate, in particular, has a picturesque setting and is known for the engagement of their student body in both academics and campus events, resulting in a well-rounded college experience. Lafayette, on the other hand, brings the added advantage of a slightly more intimate setting and closer proximity to urban areas, while still retaining that tight-knit community feel. As you explore, be sure to reach out to current students and admissions to get a firsthand perspective on the social scenes and academic environments.
