Belhaven is a place where faith truly meets education. Because of such a compassionate group of teachers and students, Belhaven really is my home.

Kylie Malone, English, Madison, AL

Belhaven's academics are excellent. The emphasis is on discovery and application. The professors' main desire is that their students learn to discover truth and apply knowledge for themselves in whatever field they are studying. I enjoy being taught, not only about my degree, but also about life and the world.

Corina Cater, Creative Writing, Pembroke Pines, FL

My experience here has been like no other. I love the welcoming atmosphere. I enjoy being a part of student clubs and organizations and giving back to the school and community. But most importantly, on pleasant days the rocking chairs have to be my favorite place to sit and talk with friends.

Being at Belhaven has been the greatest experience of my life. I’ve made friendships that will last forever and I am learning from some of the best professors in the world.

Timothy Downs, Sports Administration, Pascagoula, MS

At Belhaven I have been encouraged by seeing how Christ is exalted in the classroom and how many opportunities there are to get involved in Christian activities and to grow in Christ. The Christian environment has been a huge blessing in my life as it has led me to go deeper in my walk with Christ alongside many other people.
