Allegheny College is situated in one of the most boring cities I've every been to. There's a Greyhound bus to Pittsburgh but that requres money and a hotel is even more expensive, so you're basically stuck at the college. The only alleviation from the boredom are the tons of essays you have to write. After up to four essays for every class while you are enrolled here, Allegheny decides to pile on a senior research paper that can take your whole last year. Most students dread their last year, a time when they should be enjoying themselves.

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.

the food and the weather because we are not far from lake erie so we get a lot of lake effect snow and there isnt much good variety in the food they serve here.

The worst thing is possibly the location. Allegheny College is located in Meadville and if you are from a city, it is hard to get to places like the mall and the movies. The airport is also almost two hours away. The city does not have a strong bus system so transporation to and from places especially if your home is far from PA can be difficult to find.

Not very diverse and not very focused on the science majors. Career counselors knew little about the fields and connections through campus were minimal.
Caitlin
There is not much diversity amongst the students. That includes social diversity, racial, financial, etc. For example, if you are not interested in partying, there is not much to do on campus on the weekends.
Devon
The work load can be a little much and you must stay on top of it to do well.

The internet connection is really bad though they aretrying to make the campus wireless if youre trying to download or upload something you should just walk away use the bathroom and go to dinner and by the time you get back it should be done. The college has also had a real issue with housing. I was stuck in a quad in a converted lounge and were alienated by the rest of the floor for taking the lounge. Its not usual to put freshmen in extra rooms of a frat house...
