Visited Belmont and was really impressed with them if you are interested in music or Nursing. They are in Nashville so of course. My kids did not go there but a friend of ours did and loved it. He made a lot of connections there and got a job before he even graduated. Check it out if you are thinking of going into music.
Was your friend who attended Belmont religious? Trying to figure out if it works for non religious students as well.
I know a couple of kids of varying degrees of religiosity (or non-religiosity), and they have all had no problem with that aspect of Belmont.
He was religious but even if you are not you will fit in fine
