Beloit is without a doubt the type of college that gets its students excited about their education. Courses are challenging and thought provoking and the majority of the professors are enthusiastic and willing to help you at every turn.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Balance your time, talk with your advisor if you're having problems, make friends with upperclassmen, talk to housekeeping and JOIN CLUBS!!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes are pretty writing intensive but don't let that put you off. Professor across all disciplines are willing to listen and help with your concerns. If you're falling behind, talk to them about it or see about getting a tutor in that class or starting a study group.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm Life is a bit of a hit or miss for some people (like it is at most colleges). Luckily, as a freshman if you don't like your roommate or the dorm in general you can apply for housing in the many specialty houses we have on campus. All freshman dorms (609 & 840) are normally pretty close knit. If that's not your thing ask around. The nicest dorms are those closest to the Common dining hall.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Commons has experienced a change recently and depending on who you ask around campus, students either hate it or love it. Food at commons can sometimes be really great and sometimes you may wonder why you decided to eat there at all. Fortunately though their is always something pretty good to eat at least 80% of the time.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Hang with friends. There's something to do almost every weekend on campus once school starts up but off campus life is pretty barren unless you or a friend has a car to travel in Rockford. Beloit has a movie theater and a bowling alley and all other town necessities but the appeal or the need to leave campus just isn't their most of the time. Clubs and Greeks life provide pretty good entertainment much of the time.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Infidelity a great school for the amount it costs. Even with it's big surface price tag, majority of students receive substantial financial aid.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Science Center and the Poetry Garden (in the warmer months) are the best places to study, or just hang out in my opinion.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The kids who always wanted to try something new in class. The ones who spoke out, who were a little bit different and didn't really care.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Over 100 clubs and organizations on campus, there's something for everyone and if you somehow don't find what you're looking for start a club yourself.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Not apart of Greek life, but from the friends that I have in it and from what I've heard Beloit Greek life is very welcoming and offers a variety Sors and Frats for the versatile student body.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I'm pleased with campus safety. Security is pretty prompt and takes concerns seriously and are very nice and accommodating.
