Bethany college is near and dear to our hearts and we would be lost with this place. The friends and the memories we make are wonderful. We wouldn't trade this place, because to us it is home. However, with all these wonderful things, there are also some struggles. These struggles are what we deal with, yet are used to here at Bethany. Even though we sometimes question why we are here because of these things we wouldn't trade it for the world.
