Campus Life

Allegheny has a large all you can eat dining hall and a pay as you go style type of dining. There are many different choices at both dining locations that will satisfy even the pickiest student.

McKins is way better than Brooks. However, bringing a lot of friends to Brooks makes it fun. You go for the atmosphere, not the food. Except Fridays. Mac and cheese for lunch and chicken parm for dinner.

When I first got there, the opportunity to eat as much as I want per meal swipe was appealing. Yet over time the food became rather repetitive and sometimes wasn't appetizing. Although the cafe on campus is a good alternative to the main dining hall some items sold there are way overpriced. However don't let my criticisms scare you away, overall the food is exactly what I expected from college food, some days are delicious and other days I'd rather fend for myself.

The main cafeteria, Brooks, is all you can eat with one meal swipe, and has a lot of options catering to vegetarian and vegan students. There's always a well-stocked salad bar, various soups, made-to-order sandwiches, pizza, and cereals if you do not like the main courses. The other cafeteria uses a cash system, and there are always the same options, but food quality is somewhat better than Brooks.

I personally love the food here! There is a great selection and variety each and every day. I love being able to change it up, yet still be able to fall back on the certain foods I love. They are accomodating for vegetarians and vegan. The meat is not bad either! I find myself trying something new everyday, which is great.

Brooks is good for all you can eat and they have a good variety of things. If you are vegetarian or vegan they have options available in both dining halls though I've heard from friends that there aren't enough. McKinley's is what I usually prefer though I tend to eat the same chicken sandwich every time I eat there.

Brooks is more of an all-you-can-eat, so for girls or light eaters I'd recommend going light on this option if you can. McKinley's cash is better and easier - more people hang out there and it's open late too!

Two different places to eat, both with some variety.

The food is good, especially the mac 'n cheese that is served on Fridays! There are a lot of different choices as of what to eat, especially in the various amounts of ice cream! There are even vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.

When I went there the quality of the food was excellent, and has remained consistently excellent over the years. There were always vegan options and I could find some Kosher options as well. There is a wide range of dining choices and dining times are now flexible. The campus has a huge focus on recycling, and their cafeterias are green.

Around a quarter of the campus is Greek and there is a lot for them to do.

I personally won't be part of Greek Life in the near future but it is prevalent on campus. Fraternities and Sororities hold school sponsored events that are enjoyable and safe for all students and there is absolutely no pressure to join.

Greek Life is a lot of fun! I am just now planning on joining a sorrority. They do alot for the school and community and best of all its another opportunity to make friends and become involved in the college. You can just see how much they have together as they do so many activities! I can not wait to joing Greek Life.

For such a small school, there are many options!

I'm not a member of Greek life, but they make up either one-third or one-fourth of all students on campus. The sororities don't seem as bad as stereotyping might have you believe. Sororities and fraternities both do lots of fundraising for their specific charities each year. In short, if you wanted to get involved in Greek life, you'll probably enjoy it.

They have sororities and fraternities! Make new friends with the possibility of life long friendships!
