Joshua - 10/05/2019

I would recommend this school to my friends and family. This school has a very adjusted curriculum for students and the professors are very helpful, when asked specific questions. The one thing that does bug me though is that the admissions office take a bit too long to sort out financial aid for students.

Bellevue University FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Bellevue University?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Bellevue University is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    For me, making the transition to college was a hard decision. I decided not to go to college right out of high school because I was pursuing my career at a bank and was moving up the ranks fast. If I could go back in time and give myself advice the number one piece of advice that I would give myself is not to wait! It's important to continue your education and the longer you wait the harder it gets to go back. Going to school full time and working full time is not an easy task, it takes dedication and hard work. Now that I am getting close to finishing I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that it was worth going back. Had I started right out of high school I feel that it would have been easier and I have been done with school years ago. I would tell myself to keep going to school and not take any breaks, going right out of high school will prevent unnecessary pre-requisite courses and will eliminate the need to 'refresh your memory' on the courses that you took in high school.

  3. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I would have known how great of a school it really was. I went to community college right out of high school and then transferred to another local University. I ended up dropping from my program and it took ten years for me to come back to school. That is when I decided to give Bellevue University a try. I love it. The classes are challenging and the teachers are attentive. I am doing better in school now then I ever have before.

    There are quite a few things that made Bellevue University catch my attention. The first thing is that Bellevue University is a more mature campus where I was able to focus strictly on my academics. I really liked the location of Bellevue because I am able to get the big city feel while not actually being in a large city. I really enjoy the classroom sizes and how personable all the staff is. I was interested in Bellevue University since my sophomore year of High School due to the psychology program and the transferable credits.
