Cresson and Mount Aloysius College are located just off U.S. Route 22, about 13 miles west of Altoona and 30 miles north of Johnstown. The city of Pittsburgh is about 90 miles to the west. We’re very easy to find. Just follow the signs near the Cresson exits on U.S. 22.
Please note that construction has begun on the Cresson Summit Exit on U.S. 22. That exit will be closed until November 2022. Please use the Cresson/Lilly/Route 53 Exit if you are coming from U.S. 22.
Directional signage will be present to ensure you find the right place to park. While we have plenty of on-campus parking, Parking Lot 6 is the most central lot to most areas of campus.
