REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingHere at Belmont Abbey College the learning experience is quiet different then what I expected. Since, I attending public high school I was used to the teachers just being teachers. What I mean is that I never expected to be taught by an actual monk. Here at this university students will have the privilege to be taught by monks themselves and will be able to visit the monastery in which they live in. When it comes to teaching individuals about anything you have to make it exciting for them or they will not pay attention in class. For me, being taught by a monk makes the class more stimulating because how many people can say that they had a monk teach them about Theology.
Stephanie from Huntersville, NC
Belmont Abbey is a very welcoming school. One of the Benedictine hallmarks the school has adopted is that everyone is welcomed en persona Christi or in the person of Christ. Everyone, including the faculty, staff, and students embody this hallmark.
Bridgette from Montrose, PA
I love Belmont Abbey. The small class room environments and personal interactions with the faculty and staff makes you capable of doing anything. The one on one time and attention to your course work and path that works best with your schedule is just an added bonus.
Chatney from Hickory, NC
Belmont Abbey has an outstanding curriculum that focuses deeply on the Liberal Arts education that devotes much of your career as a student to becoming a well-rounded and well-founded individual. The courses are fitting for an undergraduate education. The professors are very well qualified in their fields and are teach their classes with competence.
