我选择伯大尼不仅是因为它的长曲棍球项目，也是因为这个小社区. I knew I needed to be more than just a number in the classroom, and Bethany gave me that and more! I can reach out to my professors any day or night, and they will get back to me as soon as they can! 我可以诚实地告诉我的教授我生活中正在发生的事情, 他们会帮助我做任何我需要的事情! 他们关心宝大尼的学生，为每个人付出额外的努力! 我刚来十大菠菜导航网址的时候，谁也不认识. 这真的超出了我的舒适区, 但我一开始上课, practices, 更多地参与校园活动, 我觉得十大菠菜导航网址成了我的第二个家! I have made so many amazing connections with the people on this campus and have made so many amazing memories.
我在伯大尼最美好的回忆之一就是我成为Phi Mu的一员. 招聘周太棒了，当我接受了Phi Mu的offer时，我非常高兴! 这所房子，还有联谊会的每一位成员，都给了我很大的帮助!

我选择十大菠菜导航网址是因为我知道我喜欢挑战和改变, 所以我想去别的州上大学. 除了在不同的州寻找改变风景的挑战之外, 我也知道我想去一所规模较小的学校. 我上的是一所很小的私立小学和一所很小的私立高中. The culture of being in a small school environment really allows me to be active in the community. A D3 school like Bethany is so unique and really offers an experience you would not get at any other school. I love knowing so many people on campus; walking around saying hi to everyone you pass really makes it feel like home.
最后，我决定在大学里游泳. 像这样的小学校的学生运动员比例真的让我很感兴趣. 我想去一所体育运动受到赞扬和广泛接受的大学. 体育运动是宝大尼学生必不可少的一部分, 这让它变得有趣，并且可以得到教练的最大支持, friends, and professors.
A smaller student population offers the opportunity for each and every student to be very involved on campus in areas that interest them. 在一天结束的时候, Bethany offered experiences and opportunities that would not only help me in the future after I am no longer at Bethany College, 但当我在这里的时候，他们也会给我留下美好的回忆. The best part of my first year of college is the amazing people I have met on this campus.

在宝达尼度过了美妙的四年! 这是一个有着独特氛围的小镇，与生活在大城市正好相反. I have formed close relationships with many people over the years that in the future will be godparents to my children and groomsmen at my wedding. 自从来到宝达尼学院，我可以做我喜欢的事情，甚至更多. 我已经可以做住校助理了 and excel in the classroom while also competing in two sports at the same time. 来到十大菠菜导航网址这样的小学校，你不像在大学校那样只是一个数字. 教授会花时间去了解你, 因为我们不是大学校, 我有更多一对一的时间来保持我的成绩.
When I visited a much larger school before coming to Bethany College, I felt out of place. 我还在努力决定是否要去我承诺要去的学校, while nine of my friends back home were already coming to Bethany to play a variety of sports. After graduation, 我从校友约翰·法尔科尼那里听说过, 在被彻底说服之后, 我决定上伯大尼学院. 现在，我即将进入我的大四，不能再快乐了.
作为一名大学新生, 我最大的目标之一就是创造我可以珍惜并与他人分享的回忆, 或者只是坐下来，重温我生命中最美好的时光. 当我还是大一新生的时候, 我最美好的回忆之一是走在校园的主干道上, 穿过象征着学院入口的奥格尔贝大门. 然后，我们全班一起在入学通知书上签字. When I graduate, I will finally walk back through those gates and be able to say ‘I did it! 我克服了困难，终于毕业了.所以，对于正在读这篇文章的人，你也可以做到!

我的故事和别人有点不同. 我来宝大尼不是为了体育. 相反，这是一个家庭传统. 我从小就和家人一起来十大菠菜导航网址过返校节, alumni events, graduation, and so much more. 我有两个堂兄弟从宝大毕业——一个堂兄弟今年毕业, and my great grandfather playing a huge part in Bethany’s athletics (he was the head football coach at one point).
我决定去伯大尼上学是我一直想做的事情. 我非常感激，因为我们的班级规模很小, 我与我们的教职员工建立的关系, and the numerous opportunities this school has given me is something I will cherish forever.
My favorite memory so far at Bethany was definitely joining Greek Life and finding a home in Phi Mu. The past three years I have been able to grow as a Greek Woman both inside and outside of Phi Mu. Joining a house allowed me to get involved with other organizations, such as the Special Olympics. Last fall, I helped plan, organize, and run our most recent field day with Allison Paxton ’22. When doing this, I saw how many of our students came out and supported not only the Special Olympics but also their fellow peers.

我于2021年1月来到十大菠菜导航网址, 期待结交新朋友, 学习新的文化, 做我喜欢的运动, soccer. 十大菠菜导航网址能够实现所有的愿望. Leaving my country behind was not easy at all, but luckily, this place made me feel at home quickly.
认识来自世界各地的新朋友是我来宝大尼最喜欢的部分. It is a really diverse school where you can find different cultures and learn from each other. At the beginning, 我以为我的朋友们都是足球队的人, 但我完全错了. 我在排球队和长曲棍球队都有朋友, 我最亲密的朋友之一来自澳大利亚，他打篮球, 当我住在阿根廷的时候, 我无法想象.
我最难忘的记忆是我们赢得PAC冠军，因为, 尽管我已经实现了在美国成为冠军的梦想, 所有的学生都来看我们比赛，就在这时比赛结束了, 他们都跑到球场上和我们一起庆祝. 在那一刻，我意识到成为野牛就是成为一个家庭.

当我开始找大学的时候，我在高中的最后一年, 我从寻找有生物/动物学课程的学校开始. I was convinced that I did not want to go to school out of state (as we have some great schools in Ohio), and I did not want to attend a school where green was the school color (as it was the color of the surrounding rival schools). My first visit to Bethany changed my thoughts on where I wanted to spend the next four years of my life.
十大菠菜导航网址位于1号楼,阿勒格尼山脉300英亩的土地, 哪里的自然景色最美. Some of the buildings are from 1840 and the Bethany Trail System caused me to fall in love with this small school. 学院也靠近Oglebay度假村, 哪里是远离校园的绝佳地点, relax, and do homework.
由于小班授课，你和同学之间建立的关系, 还有你和教授之间的关系, 和其他大学不一样吗. 组成学习小组很容易, 因为你在课堂上有熟悉的面孔, 你们的教授关心课堂内外的学生. You will always find a professor or staff member at a Bethany sporting event – I even had a group of professors helping me retrace my steps the day when I lost my keys. 自助餐厅有很多选择. 因为这是一所很小的学校, 有时，优秀的员工会开始为我做沙拉——他们知道我的最爱 – 我一进门，你就知道了. 正是这些学校里的小事带来了不同.
我和Dr. Brothers in my Bethany First Year Experience class was to make Bethany my home for the next four years. 现在进入大三，我可以说我实现了这个目标. 我成为了三β生物俱乐部的主席，从而融入了校园, 绿色十大菠菜导航网址的成员, 住校助理, 也是卡隆学者项目的秘书. 我也是贝瑟尼垒球队的一员, and there is nothing like starting out your collegiate experiences with back-to-back conference runs.
对我来说，贝瑟尼不仅仅是一所学校，更是我的第二个家.

大二，社会工作双专业 & Psychology
我只在伯大尼学院待了一个学期, 我已经踢过足球了, 参加过一出戏, 在两个办公室当过学生工, 成立了一个美国手语俱乐部, and more; all while studying for my dual major and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. 我坚信住在校园里可以让我做所有这些活动, 因为一切都很近. I can get from the recreational center (where I have soccer practice) to the theater in less than 10 minutes walking.
I chose Bethany College because I loved the Dual Major program for Social Work and Psychology. Having the opportunity to do both majors in four years, and maybe even less, is amazing to me. Plus, 在伯大尼学院, there are Comprehensive Exams; that is an exam that students take at the end of their four years of college that includes content from all of the classes they’ve taken for their major. 因为我学的是双专业, I only have to take one extended comprehensive exam for both majors instead of two exams; so that’s a relief!
One of the many advantages that come from Bethany being a small college is having more one-on-one contact with faculty and staff. That way, they get to know you and are able to help you with more attention-to-detail with what you need.
作为一个国际学生, 我刚到十大菠菜导航网址的时候, 我有点迷茫，因为我谁也不认识, 但在头两天内, 我已经交了一群朋友. 这里的每个人都非常热情好客，对此我非常感激. 它使来美国的过渡非常顺利和容易.
I’m excited to be a part of the Bethany College community which will allow me to expand my experiences outside of Argentina. 十大菠菜导航网址将永远在我心中占据一个特殊的位置.

I have been 在伯大尼学院 for almost two years and the experience couldn’t be any better. 我可以同时学习、工作和做我喜欢的运动. Bethany is prepared to give their students-athletes all the resourses to succeed in both areas, 如果你需要的话，也会给你工作的机会.
起初，我上大学的主要动机是足球. 我想练习和比赛，我的心思都集中在这上面. Now, 当我回首往事，想要回忆我在十大菠菜导航网址最美好的时光时, 足球在那里，但并不孤单. 我最美好的时刻大部分都和我在这里遇到的人有关, 有教师组织的活动, 并且不得不做与我的专业相关的工作.
I believe that Bethany gives you the chance to improve yourself if you really want to do it. 在我这两年的经历中, 我已经可以做住校助理了, 我是国际学生协会的副主席, 学习成绩优异, 享受我喜欢的运动. 这是你自己不可能做到的. 你需要学校参与进来，真正关心学生的生活, 十大菠菜导航网址绝对是这么做的.
Coming to the U.S. 来自另一个有着不同文化的国家, language, 传统并不是一个容易做出的决定, 但在十大菠菜导航网址, 我交了很多朋友, 不仅仅是学生, 也包括教职员工. 感谢他们所有人的支持，我的适应比我想象的要容易. 我很高兴在接下来的两年里把十大菠菜导航网址当做我的家.
