LOVE IT! I love the program and the accessibility with the courses! The professors and the leaders at the school make it a great experience ! The biblical background and aspect of the school is incredible and I have learned so much and have created a stronger relationship with the Lord through those courses!

Sonya - 09/03/2023

I absolutely adore Bethel! I am currently attending as a freshman and I have had a great time so far! Everyone on campus wants everyone else to succeed and I find that admirable. I am not sure how many other schools are like that. Everyone is very welcoming and you do not have to be afraid to ask for help from classmates, teachers, coaches, etc.

Damaris - 01/30/2021

Bethel is honestly a really good school. They value their students and staff, and the professors are definitely the best I've had. They deserve their good ratings

Maci - 03/05/2020

Bethel College is a great school if you are looking for somewhere small, inclusive, and very religious. There is not much to do at the school itself, but it is located near South Bend so there is much to do outside of the school. The professors are very kind and really want to see you succeed, so that is a great part of it. Overall, it is a good school to get your education from and be successful in that aspect.
