Westmont College Reviews
If you like small class sizes (i.e. you have to do your work, all the time), a Christian education (chapel 3x/week, Christianity integrated into curriculum), great people and the prettiest beach town in America, it's perfect. Even better if you are an athlete, as the programs across the board are phenomenal. I will forever cherish my time as an athlete there. Definitely the hardest but most fun 4 years of my life. Academics/athletics are definitely challenging but it seems like the entire school/staff is really rooting for you and would do anything to see you succeed.
Their COVID policy is horrendous. When I was sick, they put me in a room full of spiders and the bed was hard and only had one sheet on it. They served food from the dining hall, but I couldn't discern what it was that I was actually eating. They ended up putting me in a room with another girl that was sick, and I'm pretty sure she ended up giving me a different variant after I had recovered.
