Parking at Allegheny
$75 per semester. Freshman parking fills up the quickest, but there is always room elsewhere(though not quite as convenient). Parking lots for every dormitory, with a few extra lots for overflow. Many people do not pay for parking and just park on the street. Unless you live really far away off-campus, everyone walks to classes. You can manage without a car if you don't mind walking/biking a bit down town for groceries, supplies, etc. Walmart is 15 mins away driving.

Could Be Better
Two major dining places: McKinley's and Brooks Hall (buffet style). Can be really stingy sometimes with amounts and for the prices you pay at McKinley's that's not really okay. However, if students didn't steal things then the school wouldn't need to continue to raise prices. Brooks is OK. Not like home cooking, but everyone needs to eat...if it comes down to it, you could always just make a sandwich or have cereal. Allegheny switched companies in 2008, all supposed to be tied with "going green". Student-run cafe Grounds For Change (GFC) is awesome. Any drink you want (add caffeine to anything), late hours. Pricing...upperclassmen should purchase one of the smaller meal plans and purchase Munch money to compensate for over pricing.
