Student and Staff Numbers
- Students: The total number of students enrolled at Bethel University is not explicitly stated in the provided sources. However, the sources do mention specific enrollment trends and numbers for certain categories, such as PSEO students and transfer students, but a comprehensive total is not given. Therefore, I cannot provide a specific number or range without further detailed data
- Undergraduates: The total enrollment at Bethel University in 2022, both undergraduate and graduate, is approximately 3,546 students. However, the exact number of undergraduate students is not provided in the sources. For a more specific answer, we would need to know the exact distribution between undergraduate and graduate students. Given the available data, we can only approximate that the number of undergraduate students is likely less than 3,546. If we consider the total enrollment and the fact that some students are graduate students, we can estimate that the number of undergraduate students is likely in the range of 2,500 to 3,000 students. However, this is an approximation and not an exact figure. For precise information, you would need to refer to more detailed enrollment reports or contact the university directly
- Postgraduates: The number of postgraduate students enrolled at Bethel University is approximately 1,298 (as of 2021-22) to 1,174 (as of 2022) based on the available data

Great School
Overall 4.5
Bethel feels like home. It's a great school if you like the small-school feel and if you want to be challenged academically, physically, and spiritually. It has some of the best college food, beautiful scenery (with walking trails), distinguished reputation, and the community is like no other. We all support and love each other and like family.

Such an amazing school... I literally cry tears of joy when I tell people about it! It's 15 minutes from downtown so grabbing coffee in Instagram-worthy coffee shops is all I do. There's SO many places to take naps: the seminary library, above Royal Grounds, the English corner... possibilities are endless. The coffee sucks tho, don't recommend.

It is an okay school. Everyone says how amazing it is, however it is average if even that. It needs some serious remodeling.
Overall 1.3
The school itself is located between noisy freeways and strip malls, not very cultured. The buildings are all outdated and quite frankly, hideous. Everyone boasts about the beauty of campus, but really, it's nothing special. Most, if not all, buildings could use serious renovation. Way too much 1970's style interiors.
