REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThis School excels in every program that they provide. Barry makes sure that you learn everything that you need to learn that will help you in future classes and in your career. Teachers are always there to help you and they allow questions at anytime. I am a Photography major and the teachers in this field help and give constructive criticism. As with all majors the faculty is very helpful.
C.Symoane
You really get allot of one on one time with the teachers.
The class rooms are smaller and just a better learning experience.

Elle, NY
the classes are small and broken down specifically by major.
Ke'Yondra from miami, FL
its a little expensive but I think its worth it, its a very nice, very small school. So yeah for small classes I think its worth the money, plus Barry gives out amazing scholarships
Jazmine from Orlando, FL
Barry University is a very good academic school. They will help you do what you want to do, not what the school thinks you should do. They are also a very friendly school as well as host many events here on campus.
Regina from Lauderhill, FL
location is not the best, but the campus is clean and easy to find. it is a catholic school, however anybody and everybody is welcome. it is my first semester and so far i like it.
Arthur from Doral, FL
I am a double major in Criminology and Biomedical Forensic Photography Major, every time I attend class I learn something new. The teacher actually knows who you are and what work you have done (or not done) in their class. You learn that criticism is not to hurt you, but to make you into the best student that you can be and succeed through your work.
Catalina from Miami, FL
Barry works hard to make sure their students have activities. They try their best to accommodate all students, and the most of the staff are considerate people.
