It is truly a blessing to attend Bethany. Professors really do get to know you as a person; there is no danger of being just a number. There is a great sense of belonging here. The true value of Bethany is, of course, the fact that it is Christ-centered. Christianity is integrated into every aspect of life on campus.

Honestly, I always dreamed of going to a big school, but I am so glad I didn't. Bethany is your chance to be a big fish in a small pond. I loved that I was able to get such sincere personal and professional mentoring. I felt supported by my professors, and loved the tight-knit friendships that I found within my program.

First rate college experience that fosters academic, physical, and academic growth that prepares students (and prepared me) from across the globe for their professional lives in the workforce and for eternal life as well.

I could not be happier with my choice to transfer here. The quality of education is unparalleled by any other college Ive attended or visited. You have no choice but to grow, and to be prepared for your career after college.

I think this school is far too expensive for how low the quality of career opportunities is. There are about 12 total majors. That is not a lot to pick from. Also, it is extremely small. Everyone knows everyone. It is quite the challenge too when it comes to academics.
