Berry College Top Questions

The downfall of Berry College is its lack of student diversity. By far, Berry College has one of the most lucrative small student communities that enrich the learning environment, but the student population itself is bland. Even though the college is full of promising minds, there is a lack of richness, a lack of that culture that the United States was coined to being. Berry College would be the best college if there was a greater multitude of African American, Asiatic, and Hispanic students, among other minorities, because then, it would truly be innovative.

The cost. It's very high.

Since the student population is so small, student diversity is harder to come by. Also some complain about the "bubble" that causes students to not realize what is going on in the world around them outside of the college campus.

I fell in love with Berry College as soon as I stepped foot on campus. It is honestly hard to think of one unpleasant thing about Berry. The campus is centralized for the most part; however, I live in a dorm a little further away from the main part of campus. On most days, I like to walk to class, but on the days I decide to drive, it is difficult to find a parking spot. I end up taking more time to park than it would take to walk. I believe this is an inconvenience that should be addressed.

Residence life. They tend to underestimate the amoung of students who require on-campus housing. Personally I have never faced these problems since I live off campus, but many students don't have that option and are repeadly left without rooms during selection for the upcoming semester. The problems are always resolved, but to students who are affected complain.

The worst ting about Berry College would be it's location. It is located in a very small boring town with not much to do off campus. Another bad thing about Berry College is the fact that many people go home or leave on the weekend and there are few people who stay on campus and there is not much to do.

How drastically it turned into a school founded for individuals who couldn't afford school into a school that is difficult to afford. It used to be completely self-sustained, student run, and now it is a business out for profit. Despite that fact, it is easy to see the foundation the school was founded on, student work availiblity and students run businesses and organizations are a big part of Berry Life.

I think the worst thing about our school is that the campus is very big and there are a lots of students which gives it less of a campus look. Their acceptance rate is very high which causes higher number of students to be admitted causing a negative image towards the standard of education and reputation. Another thing that bothers me is the rising tuition each year. Today the instate tuition has reached over ten thousand dollars, which causes many students to drop out or switch colleges.

The thing that I consider worst about Berry College would just be the tuition. They seem to act like they will help out a lot more with the money situation, but end up not helping out enough at all.

The tuition has to be the only downside to Berry. It is expensive and it is hard to come up with it unless you having been saving for college for a while.
