I believe Westmont College can be suitable for any student motivated to learn and excel in a challenging academic setting. Being a Christian Liberal Arts college, the majority of Westmont's students are Christian by faith, and are encouraged to grow both academically and spiritually. Because Westmont is a small school, students become very familiar with one another, and strong relationships are built with students and professors. A person who is looking for a college with a tight-knit, close community may find Westmont College an excellent school with much to offer.

Someone who is willing to work hard, someone who is dedicated to doing something with their life, someone who does not mind the atmosphere of a small school.

Kelsey

Someone serious about learning. The professors are fantastic and someone going to Westmont should definitely take advantage of their extensive knowledge. It's important to work hard academically and really be invested in your major. Also, as a liberal arts school, it is important to want to know how your major and your particular skill set will fit into the world as a whole and how other things relate to what you do.

Stephanie

Someone who values both their Christian faith and a strong education. You don't need to be conservative or know the Bible front to back. People are open and accepting and you can find students across the board on how they view their faith, but there is that common ground of wanting to know more about Christianity. The academics are challenging. There is a social scene to this school, but it's not a "party school".

Joshua

Jennifer

A person who has a strong faith in Christ. Someone who is devoted to their studies. There are not alot of parties here so if you are a partier this isn't the school for you

Rebecca

Someone who has grown up with a christian background. This school would be a rather large culture shock for someone who is not as exposed to the christian faith. Attending chaple 3 times a week is required, so it is important that this is understood and something the student is ok with.

Brittany

They type of person who should attend Westmont College is a student who appreciates a close community of people who care about them and hold them accountable. Professors really push you and it takes determination to suceed. A person who thrives in a challenging environment but is also laid back and likes to have fun. The campus is in a wooded area yet the beach is only a few minutes away, so a person who appreciates nature and enjoys spending time outdoors would love Westmont's campus.
