REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingNewberry College's learning experience is very unique. The small class sizes make it easy to have a one on one relationship with your professor. The instructors are always more than willing to spend the extra time and energy to make sure that the class or individual understands the concept. At Newberry you are not another number, but a student to a professor that wants to see you succeed. With this small learning environment there are many opportunities for students to explore outside of classroom as well.
Kali from Florence, SC
It is basically a giant family in which I love everyone there. I've learned a lot because they retaught me how to study and teachers are more available since it's a small college and there aren't 400 people classes. I have had a great college experience thus far because i am a student who learns best in small places and Newberry College is the perfect place for that.
Aaron from Columbia, SC
The teachers here care a lot about your education. Because of the small learning environment, the teachers can focus on you as a individual student. Unlike big universities where you are being taught by a teachers aid, you have the professor in the room. They make themselves available to the students.
Amanda from Summerville, SC
Newberry is a outstanding college for their accademics, and sports. The student diversity spreads all across the world, and united states. The College stresses the most on thier students succeding
Matthew from Gilbert, SC
I love this college, it is in a small, quiet, quaint town. The school offers beautiful historic building and amazing scenery. The students here are great and are there to learn, they do not disrupt class like you have at most colleges.
Davida from Chapin, SC
Newberry College is a wonderful undergraduate institution that prides itself on its personalized learning experiences. The professors are actively engaged with the students and work to not only teach but to instill a love of learning inside each individual. The environment is warm, welcoming, and each year Newberry College continues to offer a home to the students attending.

Newberry is over all the best decision that i have ever made. It has changed my life for the better and continues to do so. All of the people in Newberry are very kind and caring people that are easy to love.
Christopher from Rock Hill, SC
Newberry College is the best choice for students who are looking for a school with a good sense of community, good academics, and great opportunities all around. This school has everything from a wonderful student body and staff to a welcoming place for the outside community as well. I can truly say it has been a wonderful experience.
