Describe your classmates in one sentence.Some are highly motivated while others are slackers that are good doing the minimal work and producing good grades.  Your classmates are intelligent but for the most part reserved in a class room setting.  Most people are involved in at least one club, but school work comes first.  Many people become involved in volunteering; it is hard to not share Allegheny’s enthusiam for social justice.,If you could change something about your school, what would you change?The quality of food is poor.  Although I suppose that is true of most college campuses.  It is edible, just not always what you look forward to.  Especially on the weekend, there are fewer options because Brooks (the main dining hall) cuts back on staff.

What is your school best known for?Not to be stereotypical, but our “unusual combinations.” Although my major is not a particularly popular major, there are many students who are minors in the field that are very active in both natural sciences or social sciences, as well as the arts and humanities.  A typical circle of friends, or even aquaintences, includes people from many different academic backgrounds with very different future plans.,What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?The people I’ve met, including faculty, staff, and other students.  Overall, people are willing to help each other and work together.  Most of my professors have been fantastic, and I enjoy being able to go to them with any problems I might be having.  The community is definitely supportive, as long as you are an active supporting member as well.

What kind of person should attend this school?Allegheny is an incredible school for students who worked hard in high school and are ready to continue working hard while in pursuit of a higher degree.  Allegheny is especially great for students who are unsure of what they want to major in. As a liberal arts school with a unique curriculum, students are given the oppurtunity to take a wide variety of classes to decide which classes they are interested in and which ones they are less interested in.  Students at Allegheny should also be willing to try new things and to become very involved in the school community.,What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?Students who do not have a sense of humor or a sense of adventure should avoid Allegheny all together.  People who just want to party hard, join a frat, and coast their way to a degree should also not come to Allegheny. Most of all people who don’t have a wide variety of interests or the “unusual combinations” that the school prides their students in having should not even think about applying.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?The worst thing about Allegheny would probably be the winters. It can be very cold and snowy. There is lake effect snow sometimes so bundling up is a must. Another thing i dislike about the school is that I wish there were pottery wheels in the art department because as a studio art minor it would really help out in the ceramics courses and it is one of my stron points when working with clay.,If you could change something about your school, what would you change?There are very few things that I would change at Allegheny, I would have to change the location to a sunny place in the south because the winters are so frigid. Also I might change how the campus was arranged.  The gym would be a little more near the center of the campus because it is far away from my dorm and i would also put one of the residence halls closer because it is very far from the main area of the campus.
