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.

Berry has helped me through my first semester and their advisors watch you through every step you take.
Berry College really takes the time to make great resumes, but the classes are hard. The dining hall is trash most days. The beauty of the campus makes up for a lot of the wrong and bad that the college has. They do provide lots of opportunities for students inside and outside of the classroom
Overall, it has a good sense of community but lacking in other areas. I enjoy the small class sizes, but the dorms are unsanitary
Small school with wonderful professors, however the most upsetting thing about berry is that students pay so much in tuition and it seems no money goes back into the school/campus.
Berry is an amazing college. If you are a BIPOC student like me... it's not amazing but it is good. There are a lot of "dense" people here. So many scholarships for you here though!
I love it here! The students and faculty are so nice and welcoming and there are always a bunch of fun events and activities happening all over campus!
Very beautiful campus, with lots of clubs and organizations. Lots of opportunities to obtain scholarships. They have many athletic options as well as club sports. The staff during the tour were very friendly and transparent.
I love the community and people all around Berry. I am looking forward to attending Berry and going to their business school. Once I stepped on campus for the first time and talked with some current students, I knew that this was going to be my home for the next 4 years.
Berry is wonderful for students who want work experience in their desired field. The courses are rigorous and most of the professors I have had have been wonderful. I have also had some not-so-great experiences at this school. Administration neglecting myself and my housemates in a time of need, a boss who has not respected me and the work I do, and an advisor who just is not very good at advising. I have had some of the happiest times of my life at this school as well as some of the worst.
Do not plan on playing tennis there. They have one coach for both men and women and he has been there 30 years and tells you he is not a coach that will develop you. It is up to you to learn anything and grow in the sport. He will call you names, says very inappropriate things to girls, and thinks as long as he isn't yelling, he can say what he wants. The AD and Assistant do nothing about this. Don't let your son or daughter plan on playing tennis for this man.
The campus is beautiful with tons of activities for students to join in each week. The Rome area also has tons of things to do, but it can also be a bit sketchy at night (I recommend having a buddy with you).
Berry's great for animal science majors because of the animal units on campus like the sheep, dairy, and beef units that classes get hands-on experience with and students can work for as a job.
Because of small class sizes, students get to have more open communication with professors and office hours are extremely beneficial.
I do wish there was more diversity on campus. Students and faculty are vast majority white, but in the past year, a new club was formed to help students of color.
Tuition is very costly for a private school, so you must commit to classes.

Teachers are 1 on 1 and the campus is definitely for outdoors lovers. If you enjoy closer knit community this is a good place to go.
Berry is one of the most beautiful colleges there is in Georgia. The campus is surrounded by nature. There's plenty of trails for walking and running. It may cost a lot but Berry is able to give a good amount of scholarships. And there's a LifeWorks program that lets you have a job on campus to help pay for college. There's opportunities to rise to higher positions and to gain a lot of work skills. The people who work there, even student workers, are very friendly and caring. I'd recommend this college to anyone.
My favorite thing about Berry is the community. When you arrive on campus it feels so welcoming. It feels like a place you can call home. I am very grateful for the people I've met and the connections I've made during my time at Berry.
Faculty cares immensely for their students. I love the small class sizes and the office hours professors have each week. The campus is beautiful and full of opportunity. Amazing animal science program. Needs better food choices in the dining hall and viking court.
Berry College is a beautiful liberal arts college with a plethora of opportunities. As a smaller institution, you are a known individual in your classes and extracurriculars. The campus is gorgeous and there is so much to do on campus.
I am a sophomore currently enrolled in Berry and I love it here. Most of the professors are amazing and always willing to help. The people here are so nice and you never feel excluded. Berry is heavy on community so you always have someone to lean on. I would recommend Berry to anyone I know!
I really liked the environment and the campus and the classes. However, this university is really expensive.
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.
