I love Westmont!
Overall 4.5
Westmont is incredible. I have never been so loved and cared for by professors. The campus is beautiful. There is plenty to do in Santa Barbara, but on campus the focus is study. The community is genuine and inviting. Classes are challenging but not impossible. Professors are always there to help and want a friendship with their students. LOVE IT!!

Westmont, Bestmont!
Overall 4.4
I met my best friends here at Westmont and the four years I spent here were some of the best years of my life. The professors are awesome, they challenge you but also genuinely care. The community is the best part about Westmont College and you get to sit in the lawn with your friends basking in the sun while studying for your exams.

My favorite place, but it is what you make it just like any school. Tons of opportunities to shine and thrive.

Westmont's education is rigorous, but the best things are its people: professors and students. I do pray that Westmont will remain steadfast in its reading of the Word of God, for that is the source of all wisdom. Most professors have an evident walk with the Lord, but they are human and some hold on to some unBiblical points of view.

So many opportunities!! The location gives students the chance to hike in the mountains behind campus, go to the beach and surf, go downtown, etc.! The liberal arts & Christian environment allow students to hear & express all kinds of opinions while learning how to engage in society with an open mind. The professors are amazing! Everything is 13/10

Awful
Overall 1.3
The dorms look as if they are cleaned once a month and are very uncomfortable. Most of the other facilities are poorly kept as well. The food is horrible. The staff is unhelpful. There are very few social opportunities and it felt like a rerun of high school. I honestly couldn't get out of there fast enough at semester's end and transfer out.
