Basically a Non-Option

Off-campus housing is pretty much impossible, and hardly any students do it. Affordable housing would only be in a neighborhood unsafe for students, and decent housing is too far from campus and too expensive.

A Mixed Bag

Beloit is a great school for many reasons, but also can be very difficult. The diversity of the student body is wonderful, the classes are great, and the opportunities to study abroad and receive grant funding are excellent. The social scene, though, can be very bad because the school is so small. It is very cliquey, and gossip travels fast. Sometimes it seems like students enjoy most talking about others, even spreading malicious rumors and lies. Since the town of Beloit is so small and isolated, it is almost impossible to get away for some breathing time. The "Beloit Bubble" is very real and can be a good thing for students who always enjoy being on campus, doing only campus activities, and seeing the same people day in and day out, but it can be suffocating for students who feel otherwise.
