Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Something commonly heard from recent graduates is how much easier graduate programs were after the rigorous Allegheny courseload. Whether at grad school or at their first job out of college, Allegheny graduates have the skills to succeed in their fields. When considering their time at Allegheny, most students are very thankful for the education they received and all of the great people they got to know. There are so many different kinds of people and points of view that students are encouraged to do anything they truly want to do. Most people feel that they have really grown and changed as a result of the Allegheny experience—and in a good way.

There are students who have regrets or who feel they were in some way disappointed with their Allegheny education or experience. For one thing, Meadville does not provide the kinds of opportunities or the nightlife that a big-city university would. Succeeding at Allegheny is a lot of work and students looking for a party school will not find it here. It takes a lot of time and effort, and for some, it might not be worth it. But all that time and effort is meant to pay off, and for hard-working students, it does.

Allegheny Experience

Allegheny is a great academic school but if you want to party hard this is not the school for you. Allegheny is a school you can go out on friday and saturdays but every other day there is no parties going on and school is the number one priority. Great school for the future. For parties not the best.

I'm Lovin' It!

My overall experience at Allegheny College has been a positive one; I really enjoyed the personal interaction with professors, and although you have to work really hard, there are plenty of resources to help you succeed. I really broke the bank coming here, but I feel it'll be worth it.

I've Never Looked Back

I find that sometimes the amount of work that Professors expect us to do is overwhelming. That being said, I think the work that they have us doing really teaches you not only to learn, but to think. We know how to have fun and a good time here, but during the week don't expect to party. You can, but that will not do well for you.
