Residence Life Philosophy & Vision Statement

Residence Life at Bethel University is an integral part of students’ 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 halls that social, spiritual, physical, emotional, and intellectual life blend together as in no other campus environment.

Our vision is to be a home where students grow and thrive in connection with God and others. We are committed to making the residence halls feel like a place where students feel welcomed into Bethel, known authentically, and engaged in the vibrant community of campus life. We believe living on-campus is the best way to fully experience college life and we are excited to welcome you home!
