Bethany College-Lindsborg Top Questions

I wish that I would have done a little more research on my major choice. I kind of just picked one because I thought it sounded good and didn't really look into what it actually contained. I love my major, but I wish I would have done the research to explore it a little better and asked more questions on it during tours and campus visits.

There is no one to make sure you are going to your classes, no one to make sure you get back to your dorm room at a reasonable hour at night. You are your own life-manager.

Growing up and taking charge of your own life is virtually unavoidable if success is your wish.

And speaking of work, job opportunites here kind of suck, especially if you don't have a car to work in a neighboring city. And everyone knows your business.
