Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Housing at Allegheny can rock or suck. There are some dorms that are 100 years old and are your traditional college housing (like Brooks Hall). Then, there is North Village, which finished construction in 2010 and features quads and triples. A lot of the dorms on campus offer several different kinds of rooms within one building. For example, Brooks Hall, the all-female building, has mainly singles and doubles. On the fourth floor, however, there are giant one-room quads, and there is even one suite that has its own bathroom. Most of the buildings on campus have been renovated or reworked over the years. Rumor has it that Caflisch Hall was laid out by someone who designed prisons. What's great is that the College doesn't have any dorm curfews or restrictions on visitors. And depending on the building, guys and girls can live together.

Also, several of the main dorms are smack-dab in the middle of campus, so it's never a hassle to get where you want to go. There is new furniture in all of the dorms, and the school also allows the students a lot of freedom with their rooms. For example, you can paint your room as long as you paint it white again at the end of the year or if you can get the next occupant to agree to keep it. You can have any kind of pet that lives in an aquarium (although lots of people secretly have furry pets). The College is pretty lenient, so you can make it as homey as you want.

Some Dorms Are Fun, Some Not So Much.

Living on campus is fun, as is required for at least 3 years here. Baldwin is a great time for freshman, and everyone seems to like it there. Upperclassmen have great options as well, College court, North Village 1 & 2 and the commons are all a lot of fun to live in. Fraternity housing is another option if you were to go Greek. Everyone seems to love living in the Fraternity houses, and they tell me it is the best time of their life. Stay away from Ravine.

Campus Travel

Allegheny's campus is beautiful throughout the year and everything that I need is within walking distance. I have yet to venture out into the Meadville area because I haven't needed to, but the school provides free bus services that take students to shopping facilities like Walmart and Staples. Other than that, it's pretty difficult to travel outward unless you have a car, but many students on campus have cars and are willing to take you out if you ask.

Freshman Dorms

I was living in a double-room with a student from NYC. Since all the residence are filled with freshman, the hygiene is not satisfied and hall echoed music every day. Obviously, it is not a place for studying and sleeping, but it is a fabulous place for party and social communication.

Did You Know?

Fraternities have houses (some owned by the College, some not), but sororities do not. According to an old Pennsylvania law, a house containing a certain number of women was considered a brothel, so sororities weren't allowed to have houses on campus.
