Allegheny College: Hard Work and the Reward of New Perspectives
My study experience was one concentrated on creative writing, and specifically, careful attention to craft and fiction. I value the experience I have had at Allegheny College, and how my courses challenge me, providing demanding work that ultimately rewards my efforts. In other words, when I put in the work--I always attempt and succeed at that--I achieve new and higher understandings about the world. In this sense the college works, so much so that there is nothing that does not work. I am grateful for the knowledge I have acquired at Allegheny.
