The school and town have been working in conjunction to remove all off campus housing rights. The town, Lewisburg, is small and conservative, and issues expensive fines for minor infractions.

Bucknell's new alcahol policy, targeted at ending all under age drinking within the student body, is constrictive, unfair and radical when compared to other schools. (This is new for 2001).

The administration does not care for student rights, and issues fines for any and all infractions including excessive parking tickits, noise violations and hall cleanliness (if in a residence hall). Students are doubly fined if convicted of an infraction off campus as both the town and school imposes punishments. Meal plans are also costly and not a good value.

The town is too small, and has little to offer the student. Student- Town relations are hostile and students are treated with general contempt by the locals.

The student body is generally homogenious, and non-diverse. Students do not accept others who are not of similar backgrounds.

Bucknell's private goal of becoming part of the Ivy League has led to constrictive policies that oppress the general freedom and moral of the student body.
