If you dont consider BAC youre really missing out! Those that have bad reviews on her are probably the ones that sit in their room watching Netflix... its so easy to meet people here and a vast majority of students and staff are some of the most genuine people youll meet!

I entered the Abbey as a dual enrollment student. My experiences there changed my life forever. I relished every second on the beautiful campus, and made lifelong friends. The faculty are incredible. Extraordinarily helpful, and committed to helping each individual. I have never felt so academically supported. The library is lovely too!
Overall 4.2
I love the Abbey and have no complaints. I do wish there were more areas to study. As an ADP student sometimes the library and the area under the library get too noisey.

I throughly enjoyed my time at the Abbey. The biology department is amazing and help push you to achieve more than what you think is possible. Its really cool to have the monks on campus, and I became friends with many of them. The social scene improved recently, and there is stuff to do if you are willing to leave your room. Food could be better!

So you want to go to Belmont Abbey College ? Here is a recommendation, DONT ! This school is absolutely terrible in all aspects. Whatever you could possibly think of.. just know it sucks. No opportunity for success and all they want is your money. You do one wrong thing and you are completely screwed over for the rest of your time here. Save urself

Unless you are an athlete receiving scholarship money or are extremely into a Chrisitian Lifestyle, than you should not even consider this school. Extremely expensive, no parties, campus police are the worst. Flat out awful expierience for me, left after one semester, biggest waste of time and money of my life.

This school was a joke I transferred after freshman year as most students do. If you want to go here think hard because you either love it or it makes you miserable!! So many people leave it's crazy!

If you don't play a sport or are very religious. This is not the school for you. Social scene is non existent
Overall 1.8
If you are looking for a true Catholic school, this is NOT the place. If you are looking for a true hard core liberal arts education, this is also NOT the place. If you are looking for a school that will not challenge you and a place to play a D2 sport, go for it.
