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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do NOT come here only because it is located in Miami, and they have awarded you scholarship money. With those motives your chances of actually enjoying Barry University may be affected, research the school first.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I have enjoyed all of my teachers except for 1 out of my whole freshman year. I like the small class sizes, the hands on teachers, and the resources available for students.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
While I loved my first year, I could have had better living situations. The housing was livable but I usually needed to call maintenance a few times a month for help.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Starting out the food was fine, as the semester progressed it got old. The food actually isn't that bad if you're not used to eating it. Although I wasn't a fan of the food by second semester the school likes to switch it up so it's okay.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Barry University has many clubs to keep students busy. They also have a LOT of functions for us a few times a month, as well as shuttles to take the students to the mall for entertainment.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although Barry is pricey, most of the students are there on a scholarship so that helps with costs. While it is pricey Barry provides the students with an event for every holiday, added to the small events that they have. The class sizes are small, and they are building brand new housing as well as other additions to the campus. Barry also offers classes to help you stay fit such as Yoga, Pilates, Spinning, Kick Boxing, and Zumba for those that like to focus on fitness.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Every Halloween Barry has this BIG zombie vs. humans game where the students literally play tag for a week as the zombies turn the humans into zombies. They also have a festival of Nations that they host every year to give the international students a chance to share their culture.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Barry University is GREAT for students that want to attend a smaller University without going to a major school and lacking on campus life. It is also really good for students that like to et involved with school spirit and likes to attend school functions.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a club for EVERYONE and if you do not think so then it is easy to start your own at Barry.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
While I did not get a chance to explore Greek Life, and can not say much about it. I do feel that our Greek Life is nothing like what people typically think.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
They have 24 hour security, patrolling the campus as well as checking that guests that come in and out the residence halls. We also have public safety transportation that takes students to other parts of the campus after 8pm free of charge.
