I have loved my time at Berry. I wouldn't argue that it is perfect for every student, so it's important to do the research and know what is important to you in a college before making a final decision. But it has definitely been perfect for me. The coursework is tough but manageable because professors are willing to meet with students outside of class time. The ability to work on campus was also a major positive for me because I now have a full resume of work experience to go along with the education I have received. It is also, by far, the most beautiful place I have ever lived, which could be a negative when I graduate because no where else could live up to the standard Berry has set!

Berry is a beautiful campus and the faculty are helpful. The worst part about Berry is the lack of diversity-it is very much Georgia and white. I think the school is making an effort to recruit more people of color and from other areas of the country. Becoming D III with the sports may increase its presence with other similar decent liberal arts colleges.It is a bit difficult to find one's place here. There are conservative Christians and wasted potheads/drunks all in the same school! Most of the students are friendly and helpful. I have not had any troubles with faculty and have found them to be fair. Some are challenging; some not so. The campus cops are quick to ticket but I think fair in how they manage the drunks/partiers-they usually take names and talk rather than call the city police (which does happen at a lot of other schools)

Super Brilliant
Berry college breeds alcoholics and potheads by condemning normal social interaction. The social activities here are pathetic because only five people show up to each activity. If you love being judged left and right by hypocritical christians...this is the place to be. If your desire is to learn to fear normal social interaction..Berry is the place for you. I have been to other colleges many times...and Berry is the only one where when you ask someone whether they like the school or not...the only reply you will get is "it's okay, I don't really mind it" or "I fucking hate this school." If you want someone that says "I love this school" they are most likely a winshaper, fundamentalist christian that is stricken with fear about stepping outside of their own perception of reality and blocking out the real world. They call this place, the "berry bubble" for a reason...because they enjoy sheltering you from the ever so feared concept of reality. This school was the worst decision of my life. And I will tell you one thing..for a person that likes to have a good time..this school will postpone satisfaction in those areas..and you will graduate from this school with the mentality of an 18 year old that is ready to rage without anticipation of ensured consequences...because the deprivation of those experiences is unparalled at Berry College. If you are looking for a school that shields you from the ugly side of reality and then launches you into those frightening and schocking realities...Berry is certainly the place to be. My biggest piece of advice is not to come here..it is the worst decision I have ever made and I will look back on it with regret for my entire life. I am giving away four years of myh life that I will never get back. Don't make the same mistake I did. Sometimes your gut decision is not the most valuable..remember that.
