<p>Does anyone know how you pronounce the name of the school?</p>
<p>When we visited, I'm pretty sure they pronounced it "Al - leh - gain - knee" with the emphasis on "Al". But it's been six months since we visited and I live in Texas, so I may be off.</p>
<p>Nice college - we were pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>Pretty close. The phonetics are correct, but the accent is on the third syllable. Allegheny is an excellent school that would probably be on many more people's lists if it were closer to a major metro area.</p>
