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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The college experience at Belmont Abbey is simply what you make of it. Due to the nature of the housing (outdoor halls that connect suites) one can be tempted to be reclusive. However, the Abbey is home to many clubs and interest groups that are engaging and fun. Greek life and athletics are the largest groups on campus followed by the psychology club and the student government association. If one simply takes the time to meet a few people and join one or two clubs then they will find that the Abbey is an engaging environment that encourages learning, teamwork, and life skills that can last a lifetime
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The relatively low tuition combined with the generous scholarships make the Abbey a viable option for those who wish to avoid state schools. The education is quite comparable to the University of North Carolina system for most majors and will set graduates up for entry to graduate school and beyond. Athletes will benefit greatly from the Div II program that offers scholarships for Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Lacrosse, Softball, Tennis, and Wrestling. The Honors program gives high school graduates a large scholarship once accepted into the program and the only requirement is to keep a 3.5 or better. Overall, the price of a private school evens out to the price of going to a public university.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure to come and visit on a non-accepted students day and shadow a few classes to see if the lifestyle at the campus is right for you. As well, be sure to talk to random students as you find them so that you can find out about the school, get an unofficial tour and maybe make a new friend.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Religious students especially Catholics since it is a religious school.
Those who prefer small private institutions to public schools.
Liberal arts takes preference over specialized learning.
Those looking to find a warm, southern environment in a rural area but still close to a large city.
