Of course we think Allegheny is extraordinary \u2014 but don’t just take our word for it! Here are a few excerpts from the highly regarded guide Colleges That Change Lives<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"
\n

“Students who are eager to explain all of the things they do on campus – what they study, what they play, how they lead, where they volunteer. They seem to be enthusiastic not because they’re padding r\u00e9sum\u00e9s but because they’re generally delighted by all facets of their work.”<\/p>
\n\"\"
\n

“The college gets high marks from students for being a place where they can feel comfortable taking risks to discover the areas – academic, athletic, political, artistic, you name it – where they thrive.”<\/p>
\n<\/div>

\n\"\"
\n

“‘I’m not just one thing,’ says a senior political science and environmental science and sustainability double major who plays football and follows the prelaw track. ‘Nobody here is one-dimensional, and I think that makes us all eager to learn more about each other and ourselves.’”<\/p>
\n\"\"
\n

“Students are thrilled and a bit overwhelmed by their comps [intensive senior research projects], but by the time they are seniors, they’re eager for the challenge.”<\/p>
\n<\/div>

\n\"\"
\n

“It sounds simple, but the [major\/minor] requirement prevents one of higher education’s biggest vices: education that trains a student for only one field, when the reality is that most of today’s college kids will have as many as seven different careers.”<\/p>
\n\"\"
\n

“Of course, the success of all of these things – a strong core curriculum, a thoughtful seminar program, new and exciting off-campus and interdisciplinary programs – depends on high-quality teaching. In this category, Allegheny delivers.”<\/p>
\n<\/div>

Attractive Allegheny<\/b>, founded in 1815, is a shining example of what the exciting colleges in this book are doing to prepare their students for a new kind of world, things that make most of the prestige institutions look stodgy. It has a long and distinguished record of producing not only future scientists and scholars, but business leaders as well. \u2014 Loren Pope<\/i><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cToday, Allegheny shuns the ethos of prestige places (many of them in the Northeast) and delivers an education at least on par with \u2014 and perhaps better than \u2014 those places.\u201d<\/p>\n
