Applying to Westmont? Meet some of the students who have gone before you.
Lalia Mangione chose Westmont instead of a music conservatory. “This was a place I could thrive, be motivated and encouraged to work harder,” she says. “My professors and peers genuinely appreciate me, not just my skills on the violin. I wanted to become a well-rounded person who could serve the world in many different spheres.”
John Wong found classes challenging his first semester at Westmont. In a meeting with his academic adviser, the San Jose resident opened up.
Bethany Le began singing with her mom and playing music with her family in Carlsbad, Calif., at an early age. “It’s a big passion of mine,” she says. “It speaks to my soul.”
Becky Collier, NAIA national champion in the outdoor heptathlon and a three-time All-American, says Westmont is pretty perfect. She gets elite athletic training at a Christian school with strong academics.
