I love the welcoming atmosphere! Everyone is so different and open to all types of thinking. The teachers are more than welcoming, just ask for help when needed. They care about any special needs you have and are fully open to helping you out.
For being a student right before and through COVID it was an adjustment along with ex-president Link who matriculated with us it was a struggle but we as a class got through it. I am grateful for my time there but with everything changing it was hard to keep up along with my major and other minors being removed and having a hard time finding replacements to graduate on time while getting the full extent of the learning.
The living spaces were great, luckily I was able to get scholarships and special housing with languages and the great professors I have met along the way.

To start, the campus is gorgeous, especially in the fall and spring. It makes it a lot easier for me to do work when I am in a more lively environment. The buildings are also pretty, and give an academic feeling. It is very easy to walk around campus, as it isn't too large of a campus. However, it's still big enough that it feels like a campus. The class sizes are relatively small, in most cases, so there is ample opportunity to ask questions and have a better relationship with the professor. It is located in a small town, so most activities will require a drive. For basic necessities, like groceries, the drive will be less than 10 minutes, which isn't too difficult. There are also plenty of clubs to join with all different interests. As a student athlete, the professors were also all very accommodating to that schedule. The food on campus is not the best, and I know it was hard for some students with restrictions (ie. vegetarian) to find food that they could have.
The academics at Allegheny College are rigorous and engaging. But, the school is prone to social cliques and drama. The student body has cultivated a culture of divisiveness. I would like to see more engaging student activities.
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.
Allegheny College has been an amazing experience to me. I love the small campus and student to teacher ratio. Everyone there cares how you are doing. One thing I would liked changed is the financial help to attend.
RED FLAG! Allegheny College a strange rotating registration schedule instead of the credit-based schedule. This allows people with no AP credit to register before those with AP credit. This happens nowhere else in the country. Very bad and illogical look.
The professors are the best part of Allegheny College. The administration is disliked but hopefully the change of leadership helps aid the quality of the school.
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!
The college does not care about individual students and mainly cares about how they look to the public. The school has taken money from programs and fired professors to hire guidance councilors for adults. They also screw over at least a handful of students every year by forgetting to email them about registration or not having enough space in required classes.
I'm able to branch out into a lot of sectors. I'm able to be involved in dance and the newspaper and work at the library while also taking classes that interest me. Everyone's so friendly here and it's very comfortable. There's never a dull day. The only notable critique is that the food is awful.
With me being a black student at a predominantly white institution, you're always going to have to deal with micro-agressions and racism. Here you don't experience on the day to day basis. The surrounding town is fairly racist. There were issues with the food either being undercooked or giving students food poisoning. The professors here are mostly decent to really well professors, but you will always end up with a professor that's not that great. Overall, it's pretty decent here.
Generally a pretty decent college. All of the professors I've had so far are great and do care for you and your well-being and are there to help you on your journey to being successful. And I've made great friends so far in only my first year here.
I enjoy being on campus and being involved in activities with my peers and co-workers in the work study program. The campus provides programs and activities for all ethnicities and backgrounds.
Allegheny is a great place to do undergrad and I have really loved my time here so far. The students as well as the staff and faculty have made the atmosphere so welcoming. The school has gone under-many changes that have brought it into the future of education. The major minor requirement is what makes the experience at Allegheny so worth it and has really prepared me for the real world.
I love the campus so much. The professors are fantastic and I learn a lot. The food and campus living is good, especially for an older college. The only thing I have to complain about is the people higher up they are cutting a lot of programs and mine as well, music. They are required to get me through but they are cutting so many corners and not allowing me to have the best experience.
Allegheny is a tight knit community where a person can depend others. It’s impossible to walk through campus and not run into someone you know. New administration are making certain changes that are not in the college community’s best interest.
Allegheny is an amazing school if you know what you want to do professionally. There are lots of opportunities to get involved in research, even as an underclassmen. The campus is relatively small but large enough to retain independence throughout your day to day.
The campus is truly beautiful, the professors are great, and the students are kind but competitive. It was a great choice for me, but may not be for everybody.
I like the small and Intimate school setting. I think the school has good professors. I want a more diverse faculty and student body but I know the college is working on it.
