What Students Are Saying
Beloit College is small, and does not have the funding of other colleges. Even so, its programs are shaped to encourage students to pursue their passions, and the personalized interaction students get with its talented and enthusiastic teachers give them what they need to meet their goals. It's also a community with a place for everyone, no matter how strange or plain, scientific or artistic, ambitious or laid-back.
Matthew from Beloit, WI

taryn from berrien springs, mi
as many have said, beloit college is an excellent place to learn. while beloit lacks the "city life", its charm and inner/outer community charm is what draws you in. i ended up leaving beloit for a vacation term to sort out my homesick issues and actually really missed the place. especially post-grad, you don't realize how much a place can positively change you.
