Admissions

I would tell prospective students to come and check out Bethel college (stay over night) before they check out any other school. Then, after you experience the awesome adventure of Bethel, go check out an another school. Then, after you go to that other school ask yourself, Can I handle getting a college experience as great as Bethel College? I hope you can...See you there.

if you are looking to attend this school you should because it will change your life.

My tips for prospective students is to be prepared to open up because everyone wants to know about you! Most importantly, live on campus! You get to know so many people this way and Bethel has many activities for students to attend while staying on campus.

Choose a place that fits you like a shoe :)

If you're still in high school, develop good study habits and good work ethics, it will pay off. If you're considering transferring, I would encourage you to seek out as much financial aid as you can as early as you can. I was a transfer and I waited to push the financial aid office, so I lost some aid. Being proactive for anyone is a tip I can really emphasize. If you can apply and get started on the process, even if you're not positive you are going to Bethel, it will greatly assist you if you do decide to attend here. Another tip would be to talk with as many students as you can. We love to talk about Bethel with people. So, find someone from Bethel who is in the major you're seeking (the admissions office can help you with this) and then rack their brains. The best kind of information you can get from a school is straight from the mouths of those who are where you're considering going.

If you're looking for a small, Christian college then this is perfect for you! There's always something to do regardless of what your interests are.

If you have to pull all-nighters, take naps during the day. Staying up late isn't good for you, so get some sleep. Stay on top of doing your homework, or you are likely to get behind in your studies.

Prospective students should come for a visit before choosing which college to attend. If Bethel is the place for you, you will have no doubts after you visit. Stay the night at a dorm and get to know the students and professors. Everyone is very welcoming!

if you are a prospective student, i would highly recommend looking at the rules of the college because some people are put off by some of the stricter rules of bethel. bethel college has certain rules in place to create a specific type of safe, healthy environment and to encourage academic excellence, but if this is a big concern for you, look into this before applying. also, if you are wanting a good taste of the campus and the passion of the professors, sit in on one of dr. bob's classes, he's wonderful!

feel free to ask for help. the students and professors are always willing to help.
