The atmosphere at Allegheny is distinct. While most colleges are trying to establish more urban setting - self-styling as "wired" and offering a myriad of survey courses - Allegheny keeps to its traditional roots. The focus on liberal arts - getting solid foundations in core curriculum - ground students in academic pursuits instead of allowing fickle interests.
