I
decided to go to Barry because I was not interested
in FIU nor Miami University. Barry also has an accelerated
program that I was hoping would help me to get
my B.S sooner so that I could go for a
masters. I graduated from Miami Dade College for my
Associates with Highest Honors and am also a member of
the Society of Leadership and Success. I am incredibly disappointed
with Barry University. Yes, the campus is pretty. Yes, the
faculty and staff are friendly and approachable, and yes the
lunch room and food is excellent but the education is
awful!!! I have taken a couple interesting courses but my
classmates are not very bright - and I think that
is the norm here as the teacher's have gotten used
to treating the students as if they are dumb. And
they do this without being rude, but as an intelligent
student that enjoys being challenged I am often flabbergasted on
how stupid my classmates are and how much time professors
have to use to explain certain assignments, such as formatting,
and tests. The professor's practically give the test answers away!
The classrooms are not attractive in the least and I
often wonder where all the money goes for the school
as tuition prices are outrageous! There are alot of great
professors but my professor for Social Welfare is a complete
moron and waste of time and money.
Barry University
is a waste of time and money... and a waste
of your intelligence. If you are looking for a easy
(expensive) ride then this school is for you.
I prefer
a great education where I can be challenged, put good
use to my smarts and to enjoy school, especially if
I am paying for it!
