The professors at Belmont really make the difference. They take a personal interest in their students, engage you in deep conversation that appeals to you, and really push you to take advantage of all Belmont has to offer. You're expected to work hard but it's very rewarding and all the professors are extremely willing to help you. Beyond classes, Belmont serves as a great place to learn life lessons. Being a Christian University, the community is fairly safe; however, Belmont is more liberal than most people realize at first glance, and you are forced to learn to live independently and become an adult.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
My time at Belmont has been wonderful thus far. The community is wonderful, particularly for those in music or music business. Belmont's campus seems to act as a mini version of the music industry as it's swarming with musicians, future producers, agents, managers, and recording engineers. Music can be heard consistently outside, especially during warmer weather, and the many gazebos that cover the front lawn were built acoustically for music.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although Belmont is very expensive and can be slightly tight-handed when it comes to giving out money, it really is a wonderful school. Most everyone is nice and outgoing, the professors are wonderful, the campus is beautiful, and it's right outside downtown Nashville. While it's not a huge school, it's not a small one either, and any where you go you're bound to see people you know, although you're bound to meet new people as well. So much talent is accumulated at the school, you know that you're meeting people who will end up famous.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Try and visit the campus if you can as well as visit Belmont's studios on Music Row. Talk to current students and not just the ones giving tours. Belmont tends to put out an image of being much more conservative than they actually are. If you can find time to just hang out on campus, sit on the front lawn and listen to the many different guitars, voices, violins, saxophones, and many other instruments that are consistently being played. If you belong at this school, you'll be able to tell just by listening to what campus sounds like.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Belmont definitely services itself to goal-oriented students. If you're looking for an academic challenge but a social life as well, Belmont does a very good job at helping you balance the two. Anyone interested in music will find a home here.
