Bellarmine University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Kayla

That it's extremely expensive, i thought financial aid would come through for me.

Amy

I knew that Bellarmine was a small school before I applied, but I wish I would have known how small it actually is. It's nice to walk across campus and pass a lot of people I know but sometimes it feels as though I am still in high school because of it's small size. Overall, I like the smaller size of the university because classes are smaller so there is more individual attention from the professors.

Alan

Nothing. Bellarmine was very up front about everything I wanted to know, and the orientations were amazing!

Ashley

I wish I had known how to study more effective. My classes are alot more challenging than i expected. I wish I had known more about applying for scholarhips to help me financially.

Sara

I wish I already knew what major I wanted to go into. I took some classes that weren't a gen ed class durring my freshmen year to experiment with fields I might want to go into. I wouldn't do this at Bellarmine even thought it might be encouraged! I would suggest taking ONLY general education classes until you know your major just so you can get alot of them out of the way. That way when you decide your major you you don't have alot of useless credits that are of no use to your major.

Tori

I wish I had known that some of the teachers in the Social Sciences field are not willing to assist students that have learning disabilities with furthering their education.

Sarah

I wish Id known more about my major. I feel like I am getting gyped out of a good education that I could have potentially had elseware and learned many more things

How greedy and unorganized the financial aid office is. The limited amount of space available for students in the classes.
