How is the economics program at Allegheny? How many students go on to do a PhD in economics?

Also, where is Meadville? What are the nearest big cities? I ask this coz I'm an international student and will not be able to visit the college.

Don't know information about the economics department - suggest you email Allegheny.

Meadville is in northwestern Pennsylvania and is about 45 minutes south of Erie, PA and about 1 1/2 hours north of Pittsburgh, PA. Cleveland is 2 hours away.

Allegheny has traditionally had an excellent Economics Department. I was a double Math/Economics major. I got a great job in banking right out of Allegheny and three years later went to Wharton for my MBA where I found the coursework easy. You get a great education at this college. I had many friends that whet on to get their masters and PHD's in Math and Economics.

Good luck. Feel free to ask me more questions. I will be back there in two weeks taking my daughter to visit as she is starting her college search.

Hows student life at allegheny? Do students go to pittsburgh or cleveland for the weekend?

Some go to these cities for the weekend but I think most students stay on campus. I found lots to do for my first two years and then spent Junior Year Abroad. When I came back for senior year I was happy to be back after a year of travel.
