Allegheny College

What are the popular events and traditions at Allegheny College?

Allegheny's recurring events include Make A Difference Day, the Orchesis dance performance and Springfest. They give students different ways to take part in the campus community: service, performance and student programming.

Make A Difference Day centers on community-service activity. Orchesis provides a setting for student dance performance, while Springfest is a campus celebration organized around activities and events. Dates and formats can change from year to year, so a current campus calendar is the best guide to what a student could attend or help organize in a particular term.

What are the student housing and dining options at Allegheny College?

Allegheny provides college-operated undergraduate housing, including coeducational options. With a large share of students living on campus, housing and dining choices are central parts of the undergraduate budget and routine.

Students considering residence halls or other college housing should check the current housing application, assignment timeline, eligibility rules and room features for their class year. Reported housing units have high-speed internet access, but amenities and occupancy arrangements can vary by building. Availability of college housing should not be read as a guarantee of a particular room or roommate arrangement.

Meal-plan choices should be reviewed alongside a student's actual schedule and the dining locations included in the plan. A commuter or student considering a different housing arrangement should compare any required meal-plan terms and confirm how a change in housing would affect the financial-aid budget.
