I graduated from Bethany College and have never returned. I transferred to Bethany after leaving a college ranked in the top 50. Bethany was no comparison. If you breath you should be able to graduate. Bethany attracts students from the lower half of their high school class. It's extremely easy. It's professors are lazy; giving the same exams years in a row and Bethany is loaded with sources for previous exams. Just ask any fraternity. The College campus is attractive but many miles away from anything worth visiting. Buyer beware. Several reports indicate that Bethany is experience financial issues that are not small. Just look at College admission from when I graduated, around 1,000. It now stands at less than 600. In summation, if you want an extremely easy, think returning to high school, Bethany College is for you. If you want lazy professors using the same class lectures and exams over and over, Bethany is for you. If you want to go to college miles the nearest entertainment, Bethany is for you. If you want to make it difficult finding a graduate school because you graduated from a place few recognize, Bethany is for you. If your ambitious, want to learn from good teachers, want go to a recognized graduate school, want a on and off social life and want people to say that you went to a better than below average college. Than, Bethany is not for you.
