Berry is my top college consideration rn, and a really big factor for me is if people go home on the weekends. I would rarely ever go home on the weekends because Berry is 4 hours away. Do y'all know if people typically stay on campus?

I've heard that for the price, the housing and food is pretty bad. by that i mean, rats and bugs. some people complained that the food almost isn't edible. But then I've heard some good things too. can anyone attening berry right now comfirm this?

is there anything to do there? I'm looking at it on a map and it looks like it's just in the middle of nowhere. The campus is beautiful but I saw another post saying there's no greek life or parties and i want to party some. Like what do you do for fun there on a nice day or sum

How do y'all feel about the new president? He seems like he has a really good reputation and is excited for the role which is great. I just watched the youtube video that Berry posted and he seems to already understand a lot about the Berry culture & goals.

I hope he is able to make Berry "be bold and compete" while maintaining the things that make it such a special place :)

hey, i’m considering transferring to berry after a year of online college, but i am very liberal and a woman. are there people there i’ll connect with? a big thing for me in college is making friends. thank you!

Essentially the title. I'm planning on applying to berry soon, but I haven't been able to find too much about the computer science course. Of course, I was able to find the list of classes, which was informative. I'm more just curious if there is anyone here who could tell me what their experience has been with it. Would love to hear! Also, if you have any tips on applying, feel free to share that too ;) have a great day and thanks in advance to any of you who choose to read this and/or reply!

Hello. I know some people have already touched this topic a bit but I was wondering how lgbtq students are treated at berry. I'm a senior in HS right now and just applied to berry. I'm also Transgender (ftm). I was raised in a Christian household and i'm open minded but I just want to know if getting along with people would be an issue. thanks

Hi. I know this sub isn’t busy, but I wanted to ask. My daughter is considering Berry for pre-vet. She’s not a big party person and I think would do well with a smaller school. However, she’s never been to church and we live outside of NYC. Just wondering how much of a culture shock or outsider she may feel like. Doesn’t seem like there are many kids from the northeast there.

Hi, I'm a senior and Berry College is in my list for studying psychology. I wanted to ask if anyone knew if its a good college to study psychology with a minor in philosophy (i want to feel closer to forensic psychology) and overall a good college to live in for four years. I also wanted to ask if its inclusive to latin/hispanic people? Also, what's the feel of it? I want to know as much as possible.

Sorry for another prospective student post. Blah blah blah considering applying to Berry because insert reasons

What is the wheelchair accessibility like? If anyone happens to be here who is disabled themselves I'd appreciate a response so much. Is it like most smaller private schools with ancient architecture with no accessibility, or is it fairly decent? Are there pressing accessibility issues?

Thank you so much for any response!

This place is kinda dead but eh I still wanted to try - what's the pros and cons of this college.

I'm thinking about going here for film. Also ik there is racism everywhere but this is GA some towns are way worst than others.. just trying to get a real blunt view.

So im considering berry as an option to go to school and I actually have a tour lined up soon but I wanted to hear from students, what the student life is like since Rome is more of a small town and if the school hosts things or how students do stuff(parties, events, etc)

Hi all. My daughter is applying to Berry for next year. I have read a lot about Berry being a very Christian school, which is what we want, but what does it offer in terms of Christian groups, like RUF or IVCF, etc. ?Also, what churches do students attend on Sundays? I know there is chapel on campus during the week, but Sunday service is important to my daughter, too. TIA.

My boyfriend and I were supposed to go see a concert in Atlanta in like a month- the plan was for him to stay in my dorm with me for a night or two. But the RA’s seem super strict about the no different sex sleepovers. Could I get away with just sneaking him over lol- or would they check

I was looking at my class schedule and wondering?

Hey y'all! I'm a high school senior considering applying to Berry, but I'm dead set on international studies/relations as a major, and looking at what's available on the website, the international studies major seems to be more political science focused? I can't find much info on the international studies major experience at all, so if you are in that major or know someone in it could you share how you think it is? Quality, range of course selection, professors, internship opportunities, etc.

Thanks, and much love from FL!

hey guys! i’m a rising senior in high school and i’m considering applying to Berry College as an Asian American.

i was just wondering how the vibe for asians are at Berry.. i was on google and saw that there was only a small percentage of asians on campus..

any advice would be helpful!! thanks sm :))

Hi, so I am in the middle of my application process for Berry College and was wanting to write an essay answering Question 3: Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?

I was going to write about how I grew up in a very Christian household, but began questioning my beliefs when I was going through my queer awakening. It has been my biggest roadblock in my life and I think that it would be good material for the essay on how I analyzed my beliefs and came to my own conclusions myself, but I don't think it would go over very well if the person reading my essay is homophobic.

So to get back to the point of this post: does anyone who attends think that this would be an issue? Should I write about a different topic? I don't mind attending the school and being discriminated against a bit because I'll always run into that, but I don't want to not get in because of my queerness.

Thank you for any help!!!

My wife (c/o 1995) and I (c/o 1994) just dropped off our daughter for lacrosse camp. I knew things had changed, but I’ve only been on campus a few times since we graduated, and today hits harder because my wife has a much better memory than I do and can recall the layout from our time better. It’s good to see that there are still plenty of deer; I wonder if there is still a skunk at the Cottages? I’m glad to see TB and Dana getting some attention; they were looking rough a few years ago. The football stadium is cool, but it will always look out of place to me. It’s crazy that enrollment is less than 3000 students; my daughter’s HS is bigger than that. I certainly miss the mountains.

Greetings!

I am looking into Berry as school little brother could apply to. Trying to see if I can connect with some international students at Berry.

Some questions that I need help with are:

1. What does "generous" mean exactly in terms of merit based scholarships?

My little brother is a not a US citizen and as such only qualifies for merit based scholarships. From the scholarship page: Berry College offers a competitive merit-based scholarship program for international students. These scholarships are based on a student’s secondary school transcripts and are awarded automatically to students that qualify. While these scholarships can be generous, it is important to remember that there are no need-based scholarships that are available to international students.

2. How has your experience as an international student at Berry been like? I myself went to medium-sized town a few hours west of Berry and enjoyed my time there but small southerns towns can be different from each other.

3. Are there any differences in the LifeWorks program for international sutdents?

My daughter is strongly considering Berry. She's socially reserved, not religious, and academically minded. Specifically autistic but most don't realize that, they just think she's reserved.

Is the social scene inclusive enough for a young adult who is autistic? Because it's small, is it hard to find your tribe? She desperately wants a tribe and there's no community in her current community college..thanks!

Title! I’m taking tennis lessons but never played in high school and was interested in trying out but I know it’s usually a scouted process. Thanks!

I know it’s not a party school, but is there a drug presence on campus? How bad is it?

Berry is one of the top colleges I’m thinking about and I was wondering the general opinion on its history classes. I was looking on Rate My Professor and it didn’t seem like a majority had favorable ratings and it was hard to get A’s in their classes. Is this true? Thanks!

I’m can’t find it anywhere and I’ve already applied and got accepted. I’m just wondering before my audition. If anyone knows the price ranges for them that would be great!
