Fun Freshmen Facts
It’s always fun each year to find out final fall enrollment numbers for Bethel. The official headcount for graduate, traditional and nontraditional students will come in October, but in the meantime we’d like to share a few fun facts about our newest class of traditional freshmen. Over 280 of them have arrived on campus and began classes on August 25. Here are a few bits of trivia that we hope will peak your interest.

What’s #7?
Ha guess we can’t count can we? Let me check David.
Intereting. I do have two friends who brought their children this fall, who have lived for many years in Kathmandu, Nepal, and St. Petersburg, Russia. That’s where their children were raised…. but those countries don’t show up in the list of countries represented. ??? It would make your stats even more interesting!
