My grad year is 2025 but it didnt give me that option. Bellarmine is such a small, welcoming community that takes anyone in. Everyone here is so nice; the students; most of the teachers, and especially the faculty. Lot of activites always going on to keep you engaged and social. Staff cares about our well being and always gives information to you.

So far, Bellarmine has been a great experience for me. Meeting new friends and finding so many cool, fun clubs to join, Bellarmine is great. The small community of people really is what makes this place great as I know now, most people in my resident hall. The food can be somewhat bland at some times, but there are many other places to eat.

Great school, I love it here but they force you to be "involved" in community service and extracurricular activities but have a very small option of things to choose from.
Bad reviews

Dorms are filled with mold and they do nothing about it. horrible food. horrible gym. VERY few teachers that are actually decent for the nursing program. don't come here for the accelerated nursing program whatever you do!

Bellarmine is an okay school. I've made some really great friends here but only because they live on my floor. It is nearly impossible to get a good meal here, the dorm is awful, it's hard to get involved. Louisville is a cool city and there is much more to do off-campus though.
Overall 1.8
Bellarmine is a good school if you're from Kentucky and can go home on the weekends- because there is absolutely no social scene here on campus. Facilities are old and dorms are worn-down and need to be updated.
Overall 1.8
Bellarmine is awful. the professors are horrible, I had one who gave me a D because my essay didn't fit essay format (his way of saying I just don't like you). Bellarmine makes you take ridiculous courses that you will never use. (the first time I took a class for my major was junior year). they also make you stay on campus until your a senior.

For the price. There are other schools nearby with better campus life and better professors.
