Most students fly in and out of Harrisburg International Airport or Williamsport Airport. Bucknell provides a shuttle to and from these airports during the University's breaks and holidays. During shorter breaks, students from the West often go home with friends. Students from the West enjoy the four seasons at Bucknell. Because Lewisburg is in the Middle Atlantic, we do not have the harsh winters of New England or the extreme heat of the south.
Autumn is beautiful with changing foliage, and crisp days and nights.
The colder temperatures of winter usually arrive in December and last through the end of February with an occasional snowfall. Springtime is beautiful with blooming Cherry Blossoms and mild weather. Students balance their lives between academic and co-curricular activities. Students may choose to participate in more than 130 clubs and organizations. Students usually remain on campus during the weekends and involve themselves in a variety of social, cultural, athletic and volunteer programs.
