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.

Allegheny Transportation
The Allegheny College campus is small and all things are within walking distance. The residence hall furthest away from Campus Center (Ravine)is only far relatively speaking. The actual walk from Ravine to Campus Center feels like 7 minutes. The walk from Ravine to the building furthest from it on the opposite end of campus is less than a 15 minute walk.
A car is not necessary, but an asset if you'd like to get out of Meadville every now and then. Luckily, many students have cars and will willingly take you where you need to go if you ask.

Scheduling
Allegheny College offers a required Freshman Seminar (FS) to all incoming students whose purpose is to reinforce writing skills so that all students are writing at the college level. The professor of that class is the student's adviser for two years and changes later depending on the major you wish to pursue. All scheduling is done with the help of that adviser. If you have any questions or concerns, your adviser is there to help!
