What Students Are Saying

When interviewing or writing your essay, BE YOURSELF! Beloit loves unique students with interesting things to say. Be involved and active and excited. Beloit is a fun place to be, and you shouldn't be stressed about applying or being accepted there.
Marlee from Lincoln Univ, PA
Put yourself out there as soon as you can, and sample a little bit of everything. Beloit College is made for that, and when you find that one thing you never knew how much you loved, you'll be set for life.
Matthew from Beloit, WI
Don't worry about impressing your admissions counselor or interviewer. No matter what, it will help you find the best school for you.

Also, visit all the colleges you want to apply to! Looking at pictures online is completely different than visiting the actual schools. Remember, it will be the place that you will be spending the next 2 or 4 years at, and it should fit what you want in a school.
Emma from Minneapolis, MN
Balance your time, talk with your advisor if you're having problems, make friends with upperclassmen, talk to housekeeping and JOIN CLUBS!!

Beloit has a historically high acceptance rate, but with the growing number of applicants, it's sure to decline. But, that being said, most of you reading this will probably get in to Beloit.

I know you've heard it a million times, but come visit the college before deciding to go here. There's only so much you can learn about from the website or the magazine - your own eyes can take in so much more.

Make sure you get your applications in early enough to apply for scholarships - such as the Presidential, or the Eaton - which can be life-savers.

Most of all, get in contact with the people here on campus. Talk to students, professors, admissions counselors - they all want to talk to you (or convince you to come here, like Olga - the Russian professor). We're a friendly bunch.
Amanda from Dearborn Heights, MI
One thing that has really made my experience here so far was living in one of the all freshman dorms last year. I would highly recommend that option if it's available wherever you ultimately decide to go. In the dorm there were 40 people, and while some people of course only had friends outside our group and weren't connected to our dorm life, the others were very solid. It was a great support base to deal with transitioning to college. The 10 or so people that really formed the core of our cult [as it was referred to] are still my best friends here. Another tip is to don't go home right away. Sunday dinner isn't offered, but it's a great way to bond with new friends by having a big pizza party or potluck. Join a bunch of clubs, then narrow it down to a few you really care about. Volunteering is super rewarding as well!
Katherine from Mokena, IL
Spend the night at Beloit. You will get a perspective of the school from the students, not what admissions counselors want you to see. Not that horrible things happen on overnights, but you get a more realistic perspective and all the questions you'd want to ask, but can't, can be asked of your overnight host.
Miranda from Plainfield, IL
i visited 14 colleges between my junior and senior year of high school. i think for me, the second visits that i took to my top 5 schools really helped influence my decision. this was especially true for overnight visits. go on as many overnights as you can for your top 5 schools before you decide. also, keep a small check list of the things that you want to do/want to have during your college experience. i had about 10 things on my list, and every time i visited or looked at a college i would go through the check list. it doesn't have to be 10 things, but just keep in mind what are important experiences, or traits of the college you envision yourself going to.
taryn from berrien springs, mi
1. be open to new things.
2. join clubs, explore greek life, get to know the town and community of beloit, don't limit yourself to the "bubble". i don't care if you hate it from the get go, attend a few meetings/recruitment events/whatever, you might like what you see.
3. utilize your fyi advisor throughout the duration of your 4 years.
