Bellin College

Don't do it! Bellin is EXTREMELY expensive, and not worth your money. In comparison to other programs, it is lacking in the area of training you well for practical nursing skills. If you do go, taking your undergrad classes at UW: Green Bay, and opposed to St. Norbert's can save you money, and I did enjoy UWGB very much as a school.

Students study practically constantly and many are competitive as well. The professors are mostly older, and "set in their ways". A ton of busywork is required for each class, too much of it is often irrelevant. Teachers respond best to e-mails when you need assistence. Bellin's acedemic requirements are also way to high. Bellin grades on a skewed scale, with 77% being a low C, meaning that hard work that would normally earn you a "B", will be considered a "BC".

What activities/social life? In other words, there isn't much except "Bellin Ball" which is a dress-up affair that any student can go to, but it pays tribute to the graduating Seniors.

Bellin tends to be very "clicky", and since we all attended to same classes together all of the time, you don't get to meet many new people. Some students tend to be very stuck up (especially the ones who are "book smart", but yet have never worked in an actual healthcare setting...). It is a good idea to find a group of friends, because often times it helps to form study groups so you can concentrate on the material before test time.

Mostly yes.

The best thing about Bellin is the Nursing resources (i.e. books) they choose for you to get. I have found many of them to be very helpful & will use them throughout my career. The most frequent student complaint is that there is too much work to do. The second is that Bellin is EXTREMELY expensive and not worth your money or time. When I tell people I go to Bellin, many automatically assume I'm stuck up and "book smart" when it comes to nursing, but not "street smart".
