Bethel Students: Highly Satisfied

On average, Bethel students rate their college experience a full 20 percentage points higher than their peers at other four-year private schools nationally.* In a Student Satisfaction Inventory (SSI) of 900 Bethel students last year:

• 73 percent said they were “very satisfied” (compared with a 53% national average)
• 76 percent of seniors said they’d enroll again if they were starting over (compared with a 56% national average)

Among other factors, students gave high scores to: quality of relationships with faculty, challenging classes, activities that enhance faith—and food! Even the statement “Tuition is a worthwhile investment” drew stronger agreement from Bethel students than at any time in the past eight years.
