One of the best things about Bethany is that it's an active campus.

• Student Life at Bethany College is focused on nurturing and challenging students in their living and learning communities to develop competencies for holistic success.
  
• The staff seeks to educate students about their responsibilities as students at a private, church related liberal arts based college.
  
• The lessons taught are to empower students to be thinkers about the decisions they will have to make at college, both in and out of the classroom.
  
• "Positive Norming" is a process by which information and statistics are shared from a positive viewpoint.  With that as the foundation, members of the Student Congress, Orientation Team, Peer support groups and Resident Assistants focus on engaging students in becoming involved in the holistic approach to their education.
  
• The specific areas within the student life division are: residence life and housing, student activities and summer programs, campus safety, career services, student counseling, student health services, new student orientation, and international student support.
