Dear Bethel Students, If there is anything I would want you to learn about Bethel's Residence Life program, it is that housing is the heartbeat of our campus. Bethel is generally not a commuter campus, but a functioning community of people who live together and share a love for learning and a love for the Lord. Seventy percent of enrolled students choose to live in housing. Because they know that there are tremendous advantages to living close to the academic facilities and that they will build lifelong friendships with fellow students. I've always been amazed at how the interaction with a wide variety of people forces personal growth.
Bethel housing is a series of growing opportunities for students.
These experiences teach people how to apply their faith to real life. When you live with a roommate, you are forced to nail your selfishness to the cross and live a life that is mindful of others. In addition to the day to day interaction between students, the Residence Life staff is intentional about creating learning opportunities. We plan educational, spiritual and social programs on a regular basis. All of this challenges a student to become responsible and independent.
