Benedict College is a great place to further your educational journey. The professors and staff make sure you have all the resources available before and after graduation. The relationships they have with local and national companies allows students to have awesome internships and careers.

SC Vocational Rehabilitation held an event for students and their families. It was a great event.

Smaller campus with motivated faculty and staff and students who want to learn. Campus is fairly easy to navigate. Campus has a buffet style cafeteria. Campus also has a large chapel for church services and special events.

I am currently a student heading toward graduation from Benedict. This school is what you make it. I can honestly say YES it does have its issues and definitely needs to be fixed up to health and safety codes. But my overall experience has been fairly great. The education I received here is what matters to me most. I am happy to be a Benedict Tiger! I did not stay on campus so that is why I feel my experience was fairly good.

I am Benedict College Graduate and I’m so proud of my Alma Mater 💜 first let me say the strong don’t survive. Benedict College has it’s rough patches but what College doesn’t? I honestly had to roll with the punches and think bigger and better for me. If you’re looking at these reviews don’t get discouraged!! I’m from NEW JERSEY, and I didn’t know what I was doing. I just knew I needed to go. My first semester was everything!!! I met so many people who I’m still close with to this day. And it’s been 6 years since we all first met. Thank you BC I wouldn’t be who I am this day if it wasn’t for you. 💜 Alma Mayer true 🙌🏾

As an Alumnus of Benedict College I would say Benedict is a dynamic institution and an even better choice! The reality is that its not the perfect school for everyone, but if you're looking to take advantage of a great opportunity and have some defining experiences BC is a great choice! It is not a school you should come to just because mom wants you out of the house. If that's your largest aspiration then you'll FAIL and you wont enjoy the experience very much. I've met some of the most accomplished and talented professors at this institution. Not to mention, the family felt environment nurtures you but prepares you for the world! I'm super proud of my HBCU. I cant wait to see what else is in store for BC!

I had the worst experience as a parent to a child who use to go there. I was trying to get his transcript so he would be able to attend another college. The young lady at the transcript office was really polite but once I went to the financial aid office it turn to like I was dumb and didn't know the reason why I came there. I mean it don't take a scientist to realize you can't get a transcript if you owe a debt so that's why I was sent there. The guy at the front desk was rude and not professional at all, he said to much that wasn't call for and I really do advise parents to check this college out before letting your child enter there. Just remember where ever you work always be polite and represent your job or company with the up most dignity.

First coming to Benedict College I honestly didn't know what to expect on this journey. I was hesitant, nervous and felt like "this isn't what college's look like on TV." It also didn't help that I started second semester so as I was coming in, people already had their set of friends and I was trying to figure out where I fit in at. I then realized that I couldn't just stay to myself so I got involved with activities on campus such as BC Underground and community life becoming an RHA. As I opened up to my fellow peers, formed lifelong bonds with people, and learned how much love and support I had from my professors, I can say my experience at Benedict has been a good one. Now with graduation approaching, I'm taking all my knowledge and applying it towards my future and of course grad school. I'm proud to call this my Alma mater and be a Tiger!
