"My Belhaven experience has pushed me to grow as a person. I have learned a lot and have strengthened my faith, all while making memories that I will never forget."
"I was told that my college years would be the best years of my life, and I 100% agree. My Belhaven experience has been a time of growth. I have built strong relationships and discovered that I can achieve more than I ever imagined."
"During my college search I felt lost in where to go. Belhaven was like a breath of fresh air in aspects of helping students grow and molding young minds all while upholding Christian principles. Visiting campus allowed for me to take in the beauty of the campus itself, as well as the people around it!"
