Things to Consider
Belmont University
- 1 Christian university affiliation is NON-NEGOTIABLE: requires Christian Life & Thought courses and 16 chapel convocations over 4 years. Faith integration permeates campus culture. Student must be comfortable with this or it will significantly impact experience
- 2 Moderate-conservative political climate may not suit very liberal students, though diverse viewpoints exist and discourse is generally respectful
- 3 64% female to 36% male ratio creates significant gender imbalance that may impact social dynamics and dating scene
- 4 Private tuition of $43,500 is expensive, though merit scholarships of $12,000-$28,000 available and average debt of $28,000 is below national average
- 5 School spirit is 'moderate to strong' and growing, but not SEC-level intense game day atmosphere if that's what student envisions
- 6 70% six-year graduation rate is solid but not exceptional - 30% don't complete, suggesting some students struggle with fit or finances
