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.

Hi, I am from england and currently attend one of the world top 100 universities in London. I have read your review, as I have been offered to play soccer over there at Bethany in the coming term and am currently making my decision. What you write seems extremely concerning and bad. Please could inform me more upon the student life and quality of teaching, the attitude and actual intelligence of other students and the experience as a whole. thank you, it would be very helpful to get a full picture of Bethany as currently it is being sold to me as the best place on earth, but with little apparent substance to back that up.
