Academic Rigor
i thought the people at bethany were very helpful when i attended early registration.
Will enjoy being here
The campus is very small and the students I met really helped me figure things out. Great beginning experience on campus. I was amazed that some of the staff already knew things about me before I arrived on campus.
Bang for the buck
wow! i am able to attend bethany this fall with the scholarships and awards i have received from this college. i like the fact that if i work hard they are renewable!
Tips for prospective students
small town-country life style. limited things to do in lindsborg so get involved in campus life. music and the arts are big here. attend sports events or play on a team.
Great for these types of students
if you are from a very small school and like that type of atmosphere, you will probably like bethany.

Will learn a lot
They seem to have a great Honors Program that looks academically challenging.
Will enjoy being here
Everyone here was very welcoming and inviting the two times I have been on campus. The admission staff really tries to get you know you and the students are eager to show you around and talk about student life.
Bang for the buck
Although the initial price may seem daunting, they offer so many great scholarships! That was the main incentive for me to attend.
Great for these types of students
Great college if you like a smaller atmosphere and more personal relations with teachers and students

Attending Bethany College was probably the best decision I have made in my life thus far. Although it is a small school, I can see myself accomplishing big things here. I love this school.
Tips for prospective students
A tip I have for a future student at Bethany College would be to use your resources. Bethany offers so many options for success, and I would recommend you using them.
Academic Rigor
I feel challenged, yet capable attending Bethany.
Dorm Life
I have met friends for a life time living in the dorms at Bethany. Although the dorms could use a little renovating, I feel as if they are one of the best I have seen.
Food and Dining
Cafe food is cafe food.
What to do for fun
Although the town is tiny, there are still a lot of fun activities at Bethany College. You can guarantee that the 'Ol Stuga is busy every weekend, and sporting events are full.

One the best schools I could have chosen for me, in that it does not feel like I am just a number but rather a friend and student. The environment is that of a family, everyone is friendly and interested in you as a person.
Tips for prospective students
It is a small school so make sure you like that kind of environment. Also its not much of a party school we do have fun though!
Academic Rigor
The teachers are really interested in you as a person and are always willing to help. They sometimes even take their day off to come in and help.
Dorm Life
Is great! everyone is very welcoming and friendly.
Food and Dining
can be a little high on the carb side but there are a lot of options, including vegetarian.
What to do for fun
Long drives and walks, go hang out with friends, play pool, go to the local bar, go to movies and SAB (student advisory board) events.
Bang for the buck
They sure know where to put your money for good use.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Its in a Swedish town and once a year there is a huge festival that takes place in the town. Lots of fun!
Great for these types of students
Who like home-y environments and a small school.
Clubs and Activities
There are a few clubs but you have to drive any where from 10-30 to get there. But the drive is worth it!
Greek Life
The Greek life is great, they do not have their own houses so they are really apart of the community. They certainly are not bullies
Campus Safety
Besides a stolen bike there has never been anything serious.

Am learning a lot
I absolutely love this school. Even though it is in a town smaller than what I'm used to the people here are amazing. Every professor that teaches my classes knows everyone's name. They also notice when your not in class but they see you in the cafeteria later on in the day. I can go and talk to my professors any time during the day. Because classes are so small if I have to miss a class because of sports or because I'm sick my professors work with me on getting caught up.
Am enjoying being here
The people are this school are amazing. Actually everyone in the town is amazing as well. They are so nice and welcoming and they genuinely mean it. The people here are definitely why I chose Bethany.
Bang for the buck
Bethany is a little expensive and if you aren't 100% sure on what you want to major in I would recommend going to a community college and then transferring in after you have decided on a major. But the upside is that Bethany offers many scholarships for academics, athletics, and the arts. These scholarships help make an education at Bethany affordable for everyone.
Great for these types of students
Students who have a strong connection to small town kansas, Sweden, or to their faith would really enjoy this school. Also students who are very green would like Bethany because there is a lot of recycling and other environmentally friendly projects going on on campus.
