Bethel University-Saint Paul Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Jessie

I think the best thing about Bethel University is the community here, Bethel really stresses community and that shows from the professor to the factulty and onto the students.

Breanna

I like that all the professors are very personal. I feel comfortable talking to them about anything-not just subject material. It makes the sense of community at Bethel even greater because not only the students are authentic, but the faculty are all authentic Christians who truly care about me and want to help me reach my full potential.

Amalia

The accessibility of professors and that they truely care.

Kayla

The community is great at Bethel.

Cody

I consider the best thing about my school to be the people who surround me. Unlike what most of the outside world thinks, Bethel is not a school that is attended by all the best Christian students in the world. It is attended by regular kids, all who want no more than a good education in a setting where they do not have to worry as much about sex, alcohol, and other moral complexities. We are not killjoys, we are people who care about, what we as Christians believe in, our souls.

Samuel

All of the professors are on fire for God and the level of intimacy and trust developed in the dorms is unlike anything I've experienced before. God is here. Bethel provides a positive Christian environment where anyone can develop their relationships with God and with one another. I felt welcome from the minute I came on campus and it feels like home.

Karen

You can find really solid Christian friends here. Your professors are so accomodating to you, too. If you are struggling, they do whatever they can to help you understand the material. Your professors know you by your first name and will acknowledge you in the hallway.

Isaac

On the other hand, most of the students are authentically kind and caring. Most people receive real support when they are honest about their struggles, because the majority of students here are honest enough to admit that we all have problems. So when we make mistakes, we don't hide in shame; we tell those closest to us, and they help us to heal.

Jessena

I love Bethel's location - close enough to Roseville to complete all of your minor shopping and entertainment needs, but also only 15 minutes from the Twin Cities. Bethel's proximity to downtown offer many opportunities for students looking for jobs, internships, or just entertainment!

Brian

I think the community is the strongest part about this campus. Not only between students, but there is a sense that every staff member, faculty member, and anyone else you come across will be willing to listen and often help you with anything you need. This is very important today where many colleges are so large that you aren't treated as an individual but just one of the masses.

Ashley

The community.

Calvin

The best thing is the prominence and involvement of the professors in the students lives. Students grow together and are constantly supported by the professors. It's awesome.

Brian

It is difficult to get caught up in the party scene.

Vanessa

The best thing about Bethel is the faith-based community that is offered by the faculty and students. Everyone strives to be world-changing, accepting, and loving to the best of their ability and to the best of their knowledge. No matter who you are or where you are at, you will always be largely welcomed at Bethel because the people make large efforts to engage outsiders- in general, the community is an enthusiastic one.

Lauren

The best thing about my school is that it offers so much support to the students. The living situations are community based and have resident assistants (RAs) who really care about the individual. There is a lot of opportunity to become involved on campus. There are many ways to get involved in things that the student is interested in. It is very easy to join clubs or even create new ones. The support offered from the professors is beyond what is expected. They care so much about the students and it is truely seen here at Bethel University.

Brenna

The friends that you make and that professors actually know who you are.

Ben

The friendly atmosphere where people almost care more about others than themselves. It really helps to get connected socially and academically.

Anna

Bethel University is a relatively small school, and this allows for more personal relationships with the professors and other classmates. I really enjoyed being able to talk to my professors frequently. Small class sizes are nice places for discussion about topics to take place. There is also a pretty good library database. So, when the time for research projects comes around, you will be able to access most of what you need quickly and painlessly online.

Luke

Christian atmosphere, which allows students a choice, never force. Strong community which believes in understanding of differences.

Jeremiah

The best thing about Bethel is the community of students, professors and staff here. It is so welcoming and encouraging to be around so many who care about you.

Amy

I think the best thing about this school are the teachers and learning environment in general. Actually, a tie would be the community that I found, although not always the case.
