Residence Life Philosophy

Residence life at Bethel will be a home where students grow and thrive in connection with God and others.

We want Residence life at Bethel University to be an integral part of your educational experience. The intent of a liberal arts education is to help individuals develop their full potential in all areas of life. As we seek to become whole and holy people, we understand that learning opportunities don't just happen in the classroom. At Bethel, the residence hall is more than just a place to sleep and study; it is a place to connect with people, which is one of the most significant aspects of the college experience. It is in the residences that social, spiritual, physical, emotional, and intellectual life blend together as in no other campus environment.

That's why we have hall staff who are here to make sure your community is growing together-giving you the chance to learn outside of the classroom.

Here are some of the things we hope you'll take away from living on campus at Bethel:

• Meaningful relationships with others
• Increased understanding of yourself
• Enhanced personal faith
• Practical skills like living with roommates and managing a busy schedule
