The Path to Your Purpose
Housing
Bethany College Residential Life is committed to providing quality programs and services that promote personal growth, foster the understanding of human diversity, and encourage academic success. The professional and paraprofessional staff strives to offer a residential living/learning experience that not only supports but enriches your experience and success academically as well as personally. Bethany College is a residential campus. This means that full-time students live on campus and participate in a meal plan. All of Bethany College’s residence halls offer free laundry facilities, WIFI, cable TV in the main lobby, and access to a private movie streaming service. Each room is furnished with a bed, desk, desk chair, drawers, and closet or wardrobe. Resident Assistants are on duty every day in each hall and accessible by telephone to aid residents.
Outside Groups
Campus Housing Residence Halls are available for the months of June and July. Groups must reserve a minimum of 20 beds. Single and double rooms are available in the suite-style residence halls and single rooms are available in the apartment-style housing and New Hall. All campus housing is air conditioned.
