Barry University

Major: Perfomance Arts (This Major's Salary over time)
There are a lot of pro's and con's to Barry University and depending on your major and or personality, your growth comes from within. The campus is extremely small once you get accustomed to your surroundings and it is quite easy to build a community. The neighborhood is okay, but for some, its hard to set foot outside the gates without a vehicle. Resources are limited depending on your major. The Medical, Bio, Social Work and Law fields thrive at B.U. But the Liberal Arts are slowly improving. The Theatre Art program for example has come a long way but truly lacks faculty. The food is descent if you like cafeteria styled dining. The dorms are better than most Miami institutions. The school can be expensive for some but financial aid works miracles and getting a part time job is a must for most! Due to the economy, work study has been cut from majority of struggling students. Sucks! Depending on your degree, you may encounter sincere Advisor's who has your best interest at heart and some that have a hidden agenda(Not always harmful but that's life). You can sense that the university is growing but I feel that students should be appreciated a bit more. But all around good school. NOT A PARTY SCHOOL at all!! There are great social events, clubs and organizations and chapters on campus but it is not your cliche "movie" university. Barry is known for maturer students who care more about their academics then partying. But the beaches and clubs are just 20 minutes away.The school spirit is low but students do support their fellow sports when their teams are winning! Extremely diverse and home for many international students! Hey, its truly what you make of it. Too everyman his own I say!
