Allegheny College Top Questions

I feel that the student and faculty relationships are the best things at our school. They professers are always willing to help their students and I feel that they all truely want us to succeed in life. They are always available and will most likely give you their home phone numbers in case you have an emergency.

The professors are the best thing about this campus. Most are very powerful speakers, and not only give moving lectures, but they also encourage participation. They really encourage students to actively engage in the material in the course. The professors are also in their offices at least six scheduled hours a week and are available by appointment. When you go to get help from them, they are always extremely helpful and make sure you know what you're doing before you leave their office. Finally, they know that Allegheny has a heavy workload and they're very understanding.

I believe the best thing about my school is the small size class sizes. Smaller class sizes makes it easier to learn by having a more personal relationship with the professor.

It's all the undiscovered qualities which make Allegheny great. The caliber of professors is exceptional, and the level of academic expectations they have is incredibly high. You earn your B's here, and an A is a mark of distinction. That such an academically rigorous school - comparable to any ivy-league - could go unnoticed makes it unique.
