Berry provides it's students with the best working experiences. This allows for the students attending, to be well prepared for working out in the real word outside of college. This school is also really big on community service and giving back to others.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Students should be willing to come in ready with the mindset to work extremely hard. A lot of the courses at Berry very rigorous and challenge us a lot, but they provide us with a lot of beneficial information, allowing us to be well prepared in our field of study for when we graduate. If you are having trouble in a class, never hesitate to ask a professor for help. All the professors are more than willing to take the time during their office hours to further explain any concept that may be confusing.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The courses are pretty rigorous, but they prepare you well in your field of study.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are nice. They are always kept up very well for the most part, and residence life always works hard to plan activities for the students within the different dorms. I would recommend that more housing could be built for the students in the future, but for the moment, things are manageable.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
In my opinion, the food in the dining hall is below average. The food doesn't taste bad, but I think that it would be more satisfying if we had more of a variety of foods to choose from, and if they would change what they served throughout the year from time to time.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are always sports events to attend, and they are always fun, as Berry allows the students to have opportunities to win prizes for attending the sporting events. There is always a special event that is going on every weekend on campus like: dances, huge slip and slides, concerts, and game shows. Berry also likes to host fun events off of campus like free skate nights and bowling nights.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Every year we have Mountain Day where all of the Berry students, alumni, and parents gather together on Mountain campus and have a huge celebration to honor the founder of the institution, Martha Berry. We end the night with a carnival called, Martha Paloosa. We have fair rides, foods, and games on campus for everyone and their families to enjoy.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you want to get some work experience in while attending college, Berry is the place for you. The school offers a job for every single student that enrolls if they desire to have one. If you want, you can have more than one job on campus. You also get to chose if you want the money to go straight to your tuition, your bank account, or into your hands.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Name a club and Berry probably has it. Every year we have a club fair at the beginning of the semester where students can go to booths and visit and sign up for any club that Berry offers. There is such a variety to choose from. We also have several intramural sports that students can participate in if they don't wish to do so at the varsity level. Every weekend our activities committee has fun events planned for the students on campus and sometimes off campus.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Our campus police officers are extremely friendly, and they work very hard to keep everyone safe and happy. One time my bike was stolen, and one of the police officers went on a scavenger hunt for it, found it, and brought it back to me the next day.
