One thing in its favor is that it was only 75 miles from his home. Allegheny College was founded as a Methodist college and was still affiliated with the Methodist Church at that time. McKinley was a staunch Methodist and was a student at the Methodist affiliated Poland Seminary when he applied to go to Allegheny. I suspect that some of his teachers at Poland had ties with Allegheny and so influenced him to go there or could help to get him admitted. McKinley's mother was also a strong Methodist and was no doubt happy to send him to a Methodist college. She had had hopes that he would enter the ministry.
