Students Speak Out On Overall Experience

“Would I take it back? No. Do I regret it in some ways? Yes. That's just the way life is, though. You never get it perfect, and you have to take what you get and make the best of it. My biggest piece of advice for someone coming here is that if you don't think this school offers you what you're looking for, go somewhere else. Don't come here and pick the next best thing. Sure, you'll learn a lot, but if you stay here longer than a year before transferring, you're stuck here.”

“My first year, I didn't really feel like I was fitting in. But now that my second year is coming to an end, it is like a total 180° turnaround compared to last year. I think one of the things incoming freshmen need to remember is that college is a personal experience, not a group experience. Once I got it into my head that happiness was up to me, I was much more content with life at Allegheny.”
