I would tell any prospective student, that despite the name and history, this is NOT a christian school. I was offered drugs and alcohol my first night as a freshman, I was date raped my first semester, and the pressure to be sexually promiscuious was so constant I knew few girls that didn't cave to the very predatory upper classmen. Greek life (aka partying and popularity contests) is way more important than academics, and those who aren't involved get snubbed. Sort of ridiculous considering the tiny size of the school. Many of the professors are barely older than the students, and I found the level of learning to be truly little more than high school. Underage drinking is accepted, almost encouraged and drugs/sex are everywhere; not really what I went to college for, and sort of disgusting how tolerated it all is. I saw recently a professor was charged with rape. It's is heart wrenching to think this place was started by anyone of faith. This school is super expensive for anyone out of state, which I don't understand where the money goes. Not into the dorms/food/classes/programs. I found that the reputatation for the school with employers and other schools was either nonexistent or not very positive. I will be paying student loans for a long time, but I can't undo what those years did to me. I don't think any parent would want what happened to me for their child's college experience.

Bethany college is the worst school you could get into. Beside the fact that you are somewhat getting an education, there is very few good things here. The social life is horrible. There is NO party, and nothing is never going on. Greek is lame with houses with less than 10 people.It is a dry campus. The food is ok...like at the hospital, and it does not seem to get any better. You have to drive 20 minutes just to get gas. It is just depressing to live here. I wish I could have read a straightforward review like mine before to come here. I didn't....and I am stuck here...

If you think about coming here, think twice about it. It's very expensive, and you are not gonna get your money worth. The administration is very greedy and almost dishonest. They charge 150 bucks for a copy of a lost key to have an idea. The technology is non-existant with weekly power outages, and the slowest internet speed you can imagine. The food is gross and cheap. Everything is cheap here. The social life doesn't exist. It's a dry campus with no party at all. Acadamically, most of the teachers are good but the low academic standards of admission make a community college looks like harvard next to BC. You have to drive at least 20mn to get gas; you are in the middle of nowhere. I don't want to bash this school because it has a lot of history, but I wish I would have read a straight up review about it. Basically, Bethany College is a big time rip off for what they have to offer...nothing! read other comments to have an idea but they all basically say the same...
