I've enjoyed my first 3 years at Belmont Abbey. I will be starting my Senior year in August and plan to get my Masters in Business there as well.
I am part of the Track & Field team and that has been FANTASTIC! I've attended many other sporting events and various campus activities and I've always had a good time.
The campus is beautiful and 3 new dorms have been added in the past 5 years. Our cafeteria was recently refurbished and looks great. My professors have been great and I've enjoyed my classes - both in person and online.
I HIGHLY recommend Belmont Abbey College! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I had a fantastic time at Belmont Abbey. The education overall set me up to get a full-time job right after graduation. The professors are extremely helpful, accommodating to your needs, and are easy to talk to about the course or what you are struggling with etc. Athletics is a big part of the school and there are always games to go and watch. The school puts on fun events on campus for you to meet new friends or just mingle with your friends. The campus is filled with smiles, flowers, and the most beautiful buildings.

My overall experience at Belmont Abbey has been a good one! I have attended Belmont Abbey as a high school homeschool student through their dual enrollment program and I have enjoyed every minute! I will be continuing my schooling there in the Fall as a freshman. All of my professors have been very dedicated to their teaching! The Abbey is full of hard-working people who aim to make the campus the best it can be. Belmont Abbey isn't a very large school, so the staff members know who you are and will help with whatever you need. The Abbey's monastic life on campus provides the school with a good example of what being a servant of God is like. Overall, I have had a great experience at the Abbey so far, and I am looking forward to continuing my education there!
