Yeah, Bucknell is elite. Ivy League. I'm a blue collar guy, lived in central Pa my whole life, and Bucknell was always the place in the backyard that no one here could afford to go to. That's why it's really refreshing to see this story coming out of this place......

I think, then, that it's a "that side of the country" thing. I doubt many people over there know of some of the really decent smaller schools on this side, like Santa Clara University or Thomas Aquinas College.

Actually, those are the only two I know of. The small liberal arts college doesn't have the same tradition on the west coast that it does back east.

Of course, we do have many not so good private schools that are insanely expensive too.
