Review of Newberry College

from Columbia, SC

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I honestly have no answer to this because school is out for the summer and i have no means to find the answer.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

While mainly famous for their amazing chemistry department, Newberry College also has a growing music program that really challenges the majority of its students.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

While there have been accounts of mold found in some of the dorms, janitors clean them daily. Also, students don't often make messes because the people found responsible for messing up a hall with trash (littering, etc.) will be fined, if no one is found solely responsible then the whole floor is sued which often keeps students in check.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

All the food is made daily and cooked by chefs who appear to be highly qualified. There is always various dishes and daily they make different foods from the previous day which to me shows their vast culinary knowledge. My only year there was last year and there were no complaints at all.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

When not hanging out with my friends, i train constantly because i am a college wrestler, or practice my instruments because I am a musician and studying Music Education.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It is a very expensive school, that for a full-time student would cost anywhere from $25,000-$34,000 per year, making it one of the most expensive schools in South Carolina and very unaffordable without plenty of scholarship money.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There aren't any that come to mind, but to be entirely honest, I haven't looked around much.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Tennis, Wrestling, Soccer, Volleyball, Golf, Football, Baseball, Softball, Lacrosse, Band, Theatre, Chorus, Fraternities, and Sororities

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Many greeks on campus including myself, this past year I pledged Tau Kappa Epsilon.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Very little trouble happens in newberry because it is a small town and police have know where to hide and always seem to be around.
