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.

Alycia

Someone who studies hard, but still loves to have a great time socially would be fit in perfectly at Allegheny. Then if a student wishes to know professors and even the President, that is possible. The people at Allegheny have high goals and study, so a student wishing to attend graduate school should defenityly consider this school, for it has incredible acceptance rates into graduate schools.

Vincent

Someone who is not going to put off the required work. Also, people who are involved in organizations or sports do very well here.

Jennifer

A valuable student is someone who is driven, willing to take on a somewhat hefty academic workload, and most importantly someone who is willing to open his or her mind to new ways of thinking about the world. If you have many competing academic and personal interests (like an aspiring physics major who is also a budding artist, for example), then Allegheny is right for you. Their focus is on nurturing individual student's diverse interests by requring a major AND a minor in two different academic fields.

Jessica

Someone who is dedicated to their school work. Someone who doesn't mind living in a small town and is okay with a lot of snow. Someone who is okay with knowing everyone at the school and people knowing your business. Someone who has an imagination and can make their own fun because the town is small.

Rachel

Students who are interested in being pre-med would do great at this school. The classwork is definitely tough so only people who are really serious should go, but also those who are interested in being well-balanced in life.

Dorothy

You must be really self motivated to succeed. Classes are extremely tough- professors bend over backwards to help you out but if don't do the leg work, you will fail. Professors expect a lot from you and you must put effort into all of your assignments- blow off classes are few and far between. Discussion and participation are also required for success at this school. Students cannot be afraid to speak up, give their opinion and ask questions. Campus can also get a little dull so you have to be a creative thinker when it comes to having fun.

Caitlin

A student who is willing to work to do well in classes, and can handle a fairly high level of partying along with demanding classes.
