From Allegheny College
At Allegheny, we take a mind over major approach to learning. Here, it’s not rigid career paths or constant lecture halls. It’s exploring your passions, discovering the world around you, and actually learning about what you’re interested in.
We ask our students to declare themselves, twice. First pick a major of your choice. Then choose a minor you’re interested in from an alternate discipline. This approach keeps minds wide open to fresh possibilities, new understanding, and different perspectives. Because if you want to be the kind of person who stands out in life, you need to learn outside the lines.

Rating 3.42 out of 5 940 reviews
A college with small classes offers numerous advantages for students. Firstly, smaller class sizes foster a more personalized learning experience. With fewer students, professors can provide individual attention, facilitating better understanding and engagement. Students can actively participate in discussions and receive prompt feedback, enhancing their academic growth. Secondly, small classes promote stronger relationships between students and professors. This enables students to build connections, seek guidance, and benefit from mentorship opportunities. Additionally, small class sizes encourage collaboration and peer-to-peer learning, as students have more opportunities to interact and share ideas. Overall, a college with small classes cultivates an inclusive and supportive environment, enhancing learning outcomes and student success.
Great academic rigor and social life, but quite expensive. You will meet amazingly helpful professors and faculty on campus who genuinely want to help you succeed in college, as well as have the opportunity to join a variety of different student organizations ranging from diversity orgs, environmental safety, or even community service. Overall worth the experience!
I have so many experiences at Allegheny, including seminars, internships, alumni connections, and close relationships with my peers and professors. There are so many opportunities for students to be involved in the campus and Meadville community, that can help make your experience so much more beneficial. The only issue I've had is through housing. Living on campus all 4 years being a requirement, on top of a crappy lottery system that allows for sophomores to get housing before juniors is quite ridiculous. But everything else about Allegheny has been amazing and shaped me into the person that I want to be and continue to grow into.
