At Beloit, you'll find a wide variety of study opportunities and all-around great professors. Since it is a smaller school, you can get as much one-on-one time with your professors as you want or need, something that isn't as available in high school or larger schools. You can also pursue a lot of great majors and minors, as Beloit as an excellent sciences program and great liberal arts programs.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There are so many great people here! Though there are some people that you might not get along with all the time, college is like its own, separate world. You only really have to be around the people you enjoy spending your time with. Also, it's not difficult at all to find new people. There are so many opportunities to meet new people, especially a wide variety of clubs and organizations.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Beloit is a pretty expensive school. However, you will definitely get what you pay for. Beloit gives out a lot of need-based and merit-based scholarships, which has helped me a lot. It also has a lot of work opportunities if you qualify. Don't be afraid to apply to small, more expensive schools. They will give you the personal help you need to get the most out of your college experience.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't worry about impressing your admissions counselor or interviewer. No matter what, it will help you find the best school for you.
Also, visit all the colleges you want to apply to! Looking at pictures online is completely different than visiting the actual schools. Remember, it will be the place that you will be spending the next 2 or 4 years at, and it should fit what you want in a school.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who didn't always fit in among high school.
Students who are dedicated to learning, but still want to have fun.
Students who can handle Midwest winters.
Students who want to learn, but not just in classrooms.
Students who want to broaden their horizons, challenge the norms, and learn as much about what lies ahead as possible.
