I love Berry College’s campus. Not only is it gorgeous, but it’s spacious, too. The professors are wonderful and personable. They want to see students succeed, and genuinely care about their students’ well being — physically and mentally. The college and professors were extremely understanding when I completed a semester at home (Fall 2020) for my mental health. I was welcomed back with open arms, and went on to do even greater things than I imagined. The work experience I have gained is entirely unique to Berry. I completed a thesis for my Honors degree, which has helped me in applying to graduate programs.
As a small aside, the picky eater in me had a difficult time adjusting to the food on campus. Living in a dorm with a kitchen has been my greatest decision. The dining hall can be chaotic and no conducive for anyone with an anxiety disorder, but there are other options, and to-go plates are available every day.

As far as the notion of the school being too conservative or religious, why choose a school if that school makes it very clear they have Christian based beliefs.
The demographic of the students is almost 95% white; ethnic, political, and sexual minorities were incredibly marginalized by the students and administration (however not by the faculty). While I was a student, the administration refused to sponsor an LGBT club and it was forced to have underground meetings, but funding and support for religious groups and agendas were almost unlimited. A college experience, on top of a solid education, is about interacting, supporting, and learning from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. This process becomes a foundation for learning who we are and who we want to be as adults. I would hope that for the majority of prospective students, this is what they want- and for that reason.

I have always been big on community. And Berry College has an amazing community. Students are friendly and welcoming, Faculty and Staff are always happy to talk with you. The Liberal Arts education at Berry is also a big perk of the school. I love being able to take multiple types of classes. The foundations courses vary and they offer many opportunities to dip your toes into different fields. The biggest downside of the school, I would say, is food. I am a picky eater though, so it could just be my standards.
