I'm an alumna of Beloit College, and return every 5 years or so for reunions. Definitely, I'm prejudiced in favor of its small liberal arts curriculum. I highly recommend this school. I just attended a reunion where one of my former profs had returned to visit former colleagues (he's retired now). He actually still remembered my name after over 40 years! Amazing institution. I learned so much at Beloit from not only my wonderful professors, but also my fellow students. read more

Wonderful people, seems really great school. Great community. Unfortunately it didn't work out for my son to go there.

Maybe I'm partial, and that I am...but this school is/was awesome. I was a non-trad student there (didn't live on campus, was of drinking age when I started) but I clearly went there for the education, which was by far one of the best choices I've ever made. I loved my professors in my dept. and knew each one by name, and them likewise with me. In my senior year, many of my classes had only 6-7 other students in them. Classes were interesting and varied... where else can you take a Film Genre class that focuses on what students believe to be the 7 best films largely ignored??? I also took a Voices of the Holocaust class where we sat in discussion, read plenty of books, and watched a ton of movies and documentaries--by far my favorite class ever. If English is your thing, take the Beloit Fiction Journal class-- and all you do is read short stories submitted by hopeful (and established) authors and decide by vote who should be submitted into the latest journal...way interesting and way chill and fun. And those classes had nothing to do with my major-- but since it's a liberal arts college--I was able to take them in not only my junior but senior year as well. I transferred over from a 2 year school and really enjoyed my education there. Profs are helpful, engaging, and fun...classes are challenging, motivating, and varied....people are strange as hell and it's great. Don't visit expecting jocks and sorority girls, this is a unique college that values individuality-- and you definitely get that here. Squirrels on campus provide endless amusement. I once saw one pop out of a garbage can with a huge slice of cantaloupe in it's hands. And get the Beloit bagel for breakfast, and the sugar cookies with frosting---known as our "crack cocaine gotta have its" on campus. I really knew nothing about the campus life since I lived a little bit away and am more in my mid 20's--and was a little old for the lifestyle there, but I loved every minute of my schooling. But Wisconsin winters really suck. read more

I know I shouldn't write this. Yelp Gods forgive me! But I'm in an odd mood thinking about some might-have-beens and Beloit is actually my biggest might-have-been. I almost went to college here, meaning I almost continued to study voice (and on a scholarship!), I almost joined the fencing team, I almost studied anthropology. Instead, Barnard drew me in with a whirlwind tour of Manhattan and I knew I could never go to school in the south of Wisconsin after seeing the glories of New York. So Beloit, I know you're a good school. You continue to rise in the ranks of the small liberal arts schools and you were almost mine. read more

The best kept secret in Wisconsin higher education and one of the best liberal arts colleges in the country.

I love this school, I would have gone here had I known better during my college days. Went to a frat party in the 90s that was so much fun. The campus is beautiful to, and the students are beyond friendly. Went back for a visit last weekend, and its even nicer than it was. Lucky students to go to Beloit. read more

I love Beloit College, gorgeous campus, really nice people. I went to an awesome frat party here in the 90s. I wish I went to school here, anyway really nice place. read more

Campus review only. I lived near the college for a few months. Cute little liberal arts campus with some ancient American Indian "turtle mounds" on site. The neighborhood around the campus (between the campus and the football field) is fine but Beloit has long been a depressed city. There are crime problems. Consequently, the real estate prices are incredibly low. A portion of the student body may seem "arty" to some but I found them to be generally friendly and not at all snobbish. The school has a pretty decent academic reputation. All in all not a bad place to spend four years. read more
