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. Lewisburg is a quaint, historic town in Central Pennsylvania with a population of 29,500. The center of town is just three blocks from Bucknell's campus. Students enjoy dining, shopping and relaxing in Lewisburg.
