Adding to the Classroom Experience

Bucknell’s Residential Colleges offers seven theme-based living and learning environments that combine classroom and co-curricular activities. Participating first-year students take a class together and join in programs and social activities that add to their classroom learning.  Whether you intend to major in English or Engineering, you will meet students and faculty who share varied perspectives on this common theme.

Each college has two faculty members, called Senior Fellows, who participate actively in the college program. Upperclass students (Junior Fellows) live on the halls with members of the residential colleges and help plan activities.

Students interested in continuing their affiliation with the program beyond the first year can do so by participating in college-sponsored themed-housing.  Students in the Humanities College have the option to continue in the Humanities Scholars Program.  Students in any major or degree are welcome to participate, and completion of the scholars program is noted on the student's transcript
