belmont university an amazing private university with a faith centered community that caters to the needs of the students and has top tier programs in the college of visual and performing arts, massey school of business, and mike curb college of entertainment and music business. every program at this school is going to give you a very well rounded and hands-on education with real life applications, as well as the true college experience in every sense of the phrase. my personal favorite thing about the university is the community atmosphere and camaraderie between students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
make sure you come and visit the university! there is an awesome organization on campus that i'm a part of called bruin recruiters. it is our job to welcome you to the school as well as show and tell you everything you would ever want to know about it. in addition to that, it's always a good idea to get a feel for the environment you could potentially live in for yourself.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the classes at this school are definitely academically challenging, but it's not killer. the most important thing is to make sure you go to class, and do all the assigned work no matter how good or bad you may think you are at it. in any college, it's about how much work you put in to it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
the dorms are larger than average and have really great facilities. the ras and rds of each residence hall (and the on campus apartment complexes) create a really great community within the living areas and really love to make your life easier.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
there is only one cafeteria on campus, however there are 5 other on campus food options where dining points can be used, and the food in all those places is delicious. there is always ice cream, cupcakes, chili, pizza, fries, burgers, salad, sandwiches and more everyday. sometimes the cafeteria will have fried chicken, and there are always made-to-order omelets for breakfast.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
this school is in the heart of nashville. even if you don't have a car, it is a short (free) bus ride away from anywhere you would think of wanting to go to. in addition to that there are so many things to do on campus.
there are always events going on in the residence halls, open mics, or the pembroke haunted house, speed dating and other cool things like that. there are more than 7 stages on campus for different performances, and a venue in one of the cafes for small music shows. there are often concerts on campus, as well as students performing everyday. in the beaman student life center, we have the largest indoor rock climbing wall of any university in the country, as well as top of the line gym and exercise classes such as zumba.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
great for people who have a great appreciation from the arts, regardless of your major. great for students who are highly self-motivated, love to learn and are curious about all aspect of life.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there are literally hundreds of clubs organizations and activities on campus. it's really easy to get plugged in, because there will be student organization fairs.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
the campus is on watch 24-hours a day by the university security known as bepo (belmont police). there are few if any crimes on campus, the only real problem on campus is petty theft, so make sure not to leave anything unattended. that goes for any public place.
