Review of Belmont University

from Nashville, TN

Describe your college in three sentences.

Belmont University is where you come to find yourself. The relationships and the connections you find at Belmont are key to your future. Not only is this University extremely unique in that it specializes in YOUR are, but also it allows you to broaden your horizons as to what you want to learn.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do some research on your prospective major and the university. While I love Belmont and Nashville, sometimes it is not for everyone. Belmont is a Christian University; however, they are very accepting of all religions and backgrounds.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Belmont University's academic rigor is above average. While any college course will make you work, Belmont will expand upon your knowledge. Everything you learn in class, you will take with you in life. Also, the relationships you get to develop with your professors (many of whom are famous for what they do and have done) are integral in your future career.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Belmont has 'visitation hours', which mean the opposite sex can't be in your room from 1am-10am. Although these seem like a hassle, they actually are not that bad. This helps you to focus on your studies and keeps you out of sticky or troublesome situations.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining staff at Belmont is excellent! There's Ms. Tonya who will greet you with a smile on her face and a good morning, baby all the time. They are very friendly and accommodating to all needs. The food is also delicious. They offer a wide selection in the cafeteria, and there are Bruin Bucks which can be used at places like Quiznos and Lo Mein.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Nashville is the place for music and fun. There's a lot of activities on campus, such as a fraternity or sorority. There are seminars and concerts given at discount prices --like Sara Bareilles and Jake Owen. There's always something free to do, whether it's on campus or off, and there's a village within walking distance where there's always restaurants and stores as well.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Belmont is expensive, but, to me, it's worth it. I love the oppurtunity Belmont presents and the relationships I've made with the students. The sense of community you get from being a student at Belmont University is unparalleled to any other.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have an underground tunnel that has never been explored completely. It goes down from the 1800s, but just stops.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Belmont University is a great place for aspiring musicians and managers, or anyone looking to go into the entertainment industry. They offer a wonderful theater program, and an excellent music program. There are also a great number of nursing majors on campus, who claim the program is worth it. Also, Belmont is hipster central.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are honestly too many to name. For more information http://www.belmont.edu/organizations/list/index.html is a good place to check out! Plus there's more than that.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Although I am not involved in Greek Life, my roommates all are. Belmont has a strong Greek system. They hold eight different sororities and fraternities. All of which get to participate in Greek Week come March

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The BePo Belmont Police ensure the safety of the campus. They're always around to make sure there's nothing dangerous going on, but they're also really cool to talk to in person. They really are there for the students.
