    Am learning a lot

    Here at Belmont Abbey College the learning experience is quiet different then what I expected. Since, I attending public high school I was used to the teachers just being teachers. What I mean is that I never expected to be taught by an actual monk. Here at this university students will have the privilege to be taught by monks themselves and will be able to visit the monastery in which they live in. When it comes to teaching individuals about anything you have to make it exciting for them or they will not pay attention in class. For me, being taught by a monk makes the class more stimulating because how many people can say that they had a monk teach them about Theology.
    Am enjoying being here

    Attending this university has been thrilling. The fact that there is a church on campus makes this university stands out to me. At church you can see your fellow classmates either in the stand or at the alter playing there guitar for the chorus line and singing. Because the school is diminutive, it makes the student interactive with each other more. It is like growing up with a huge family because everybody knows everybody and when you graduate you will probably have meet everybody in your graduating class. Here at Belmont abbey college you have many benefits, like the fact that every traditional student get free membership to the YMCA which is in walking distance of the school and there is a volleyball court on campus and if you are a spiritual individual you can got to mini- church to pray whenever you want.
    Bang for the buck

    Every college is expensive but its how much education, learning, and virtues you will get out of the college that matters. Here you will spend about 20,000 dollars a year. Belmont abbey has financial aid and the school always gives out scholarships to students who keep up with there study’s every year. Students can also look for scholarships outside the school and that will help them pay or knock off some of the tuition.
    Tips for prospective students

    Here is a tip for the prospective students, you will have a great time here and make friends from all over the place. But just remember to keep up with your study’s because this college might sound like a family unite, but it is a real university and if you don’t keep up with your grades or don’t follow the rules you will be kicked out. Students just have to learn to prioritize there time. There will always be another party next week but there will not be a second chance to make up that test you didn’t study for.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are the type of student who enjoys going to church you will love this school because there is church right on campus and there is mass everyday, even on the weekends. If you are the type of student who enjoys there sleep you will enjoy this college because unlike other universities you don’t have to take shuttle bus to your classes. All the buildings are a five or ten minute walk from each other, even the dorms. The college always has something going on during the weekend like: going on hikes, going to Carowinds (amusement park), free tickets to upcoming movies in the movie theater and much more. You will enjoy you four year here at the abbey, I know I am.

    Am learning a lot

    Belmont Abbey has an outstanding curriculum that focuses deeply on the Liberal Arts education that devotes much of your career as a student to becoming a well-rounded and well-founded individual. The courses are fitting for an undergraduate education. The professors are very well qualified in their fields and are teach their classes with competence.
    Am enjoying being here

    The college experience at Belmont Abbey is simply what you make of it. Due to the nature of the housing (outdoor halls that connect suites) one can be tempted to be reclusive. However, the Abbey is home to many clubs and interest groups that are engaging and fun. Greek life and athletics are the largest groups on campus followed by the psychology club and the student government association. If one simply takes the time to meet a few people and join one or two clubs then they will find that the Abbey is an engaging environment that encourages learning, teamwork, and life skills that can last a lifetime
    Bang for the buck

    The relatively low tuition combined with the generous scholarships make the Abbey a viable option for those who wish to avoid state schools. The education is quite comparable to the University of North Carolina system for most majors and will set graduates up for entry to graduate school and beyond. Athletes will benefit greatly from the Div II program that offers scholarships for Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Lacrosse, Softball, Tennis, and Wrestling. The Honors program gives high school graduates a large scholarship once accepted into the program and the only requirement is to keep a 3.5 or better. Overall, the price of a private school evens out to the price of going to a public university.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to come and visit on a non-accepted students day and shadow a few classes to see if the lifestyle at the campus is right for you. As well, be sure to talk to random students as you find them so that you can find out about the school, get an unofficial tour and maybe make a new friend.
    Great for these types of students

    Religious students especially Catholics since it is a religious school.
    Those who prefer small private institutions to public schools.
    Liberal arts takes preference over specialized learning.
    Those looking to find a warm, southern environment in a rural area but still close to a large city.

    Will learn a lot

    I chose Belmont, and Belmont chose me. I can't wait to start classes and love the fact that the ratio is around 15:1 for class size. All of the professors I've met are very nice and easy to speak with.
    Will enjoy being here

    Besides the close interaction with teachers, the students I've met on visits are just as welcoming. Everyone on campus is easy to talk to, ready to talk about their experiences, and make you feel like family. I'm looking forward to joining the Belmont family.
    Bang for the buck

    For college nowadays, Belmont, for it's size, personal touch, and close family-like community atmosphere is worth the cost. Plus, reading the course outlines and major/minor set-ups, I will be well-prepared when I finish to either go out in the business world or continue on to grad school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be more than a grade - be well-rounded with community service and trying new things.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who like a lot of interaction with other students and faculty, likes small class size, wants to explore their spiritual as well as intellectual self.
