A
Nice Downtown Lewisburg and Shuttles to Walmart
Coming from a town with just one stop light and lots of cow, I think Lewisburg is adorable. Market Street (the main street downtown) has the Campus Bookstore, lots of little shops and a fair amount of restaurants. From the LC (student center), the bookstore is about 10 to 15 minutes away. The walk is really nice, and I prefer walking, but Bucknell also provides a shuttle to and from the Bookstore on Market Street and to and from Walmart (which is about 5 minutes away and is not as easily walkable). As a freshman, (no car), it's really great to be able to hop on the shuttle if I need something that I can't get on campus. Sidenote: the shuttle leaves campus on the hour every day, and has extended hours on the weekends.
As far as the "local attitude towards students", Lewisburg as a town is a great location for a college because of the good relationship the University has with the residents of Lewisburg. I love getting to meet all of the shopowners downtown, and it's really nice to discover a new part of downtown/the area every time I venture off of campus.
