Bethel University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Bethel University
- Reviewed on: February 23, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- I did not like any of the time I spent here! The main reason was because everywhere I turned they wanted more money out of me. I was enrolled in three classes and decided to drop them. Long story short, when I requested a refund, I learned that they even want a processing fee!! It reeked of snobbery and greed and I would advise especially first time students to steer clear unless you are made of money.
