Testimonials
My involvement with music has helped me to develop creative thinking within physics and other areas of my life, and I have also been able to apply the analytical aspect of physics to my music to help me play more technically and understand the theory much better.
Allegheny’s rigorous and well-rounded environment taught me how to thrive under pressure, a skill that has been invaluable in medical school and will continue to serve me throughout my career.
I think I’ve always been an artist before a scientist because I’m so good at narrative advising and anthropomorphizing biology because there’s so much to look at and apply to a human lens. Biology itself is an art – the things that our cells do are art, and are so masterfully detailed in a way that we can’t even really understand.
During my four years, Allegheny College has profoundly impacted me as a person and a student. The College’s rigorous academic environment centered around interdisciplinary learning has enhanced my critical thinking skills and allowed me to gain a deeper appreciation for lifelong learning.
