I really love the atmosphere here on campus! Professors are all very kind and willing to work with you. I think this was the perfect choice for me. I like the small town feel and how I know most of my fellow students. Even though there may not be a whole lot to do in central Kansas, the programming board keeps it interesting!

Loved my experience at bethel!
Overall 4
Bethel College is located in a small town in central Kansas, not a lot to do. However, there are many opportunities for involvement on campus through student clubs and organizations. Bethel has also done a lot of facilities and landscaping in the past few years improving campus. Amazing professors that take time for their students.
