- Residential colleges live in best dorms on campus.
- The dryers never fail to shrink your clothes down to a child’s size.
- You need a “fracket” – a jacket to wear to the frats on cold winter nights. It might disappear, so it should be cheap (and relatively ugly).
- They make better lattes at 7th Street Cafe than at the Library Café.
- Getting a package in the mail is like getting gold. It will make your week that much better, so encourage family and friends to send them.
- Go to the Terrace Room for lunch. The take-out salad option is awesome, and cheaper than the one in the Caf.
- Downtown houses are known by their nicknames.
- It rains all the time. Definitely invest in some rain boots!
- The gym is crazy between four and five in the afternoon. If want to use a treadmill or avoid socializing while you’re sweating, then go at a different time.
- When in doubt, go to Walmart. It’s open 24/7!
- Your mailbox will never open for you. It will most likely take two tries.
- They have the best oatmeal raisin cookies in the Caf.
- There is a sauna and a hot tub in the Athletic Center.
- The Niche (located in the same building as the Craft Center and 7th Street Cafe) is a great place to study.
- Everyone does laundry on Sundays, so try to do it on a different day.
- You’ll wait in a long line for Thanksgiving dinner in the Caf, but it’s worth it.
- Your BU ID is your life at Bucknell – don’t lose it. They’re expensive to replace!
- The Flying Bison can be your best friend at 3 a.m. on weekend nights. Fried mac n’ cheese is my favorite!
- The Mini Marts Cafe in Marts Hall has 60-cent coffee… it’s a hidden gem.
- You won’t get work done on the first floor of the library – there are too many people around to socialize with!
