Academics

Berry puts an emphasis on education, the classes are hard, but manageable if you stay on top of the work and study a lot. The professors are really nice and willing to help or clarify any questions that you may have about their class. Many students will still find time to join clubs to help prepare them for their future career, and almost everybody has an on-campus job since Berry guarantees on-campus jobs for all their students.

Berry is VERY difficult; especially the science department. But if you're looking to get into a grad school or medical school of any sort, having an undergrad degree from Berry boosts your acceptance chances by almost 50%. It's like a small Harvard with no greek life.

The professors assign work that forces you to read the material, rto ask questions, and to do research and practice problems. if you are looking to gain a quality education, then Berry is right for you.

I had the pleasure to sit in on a class and it was very academically stimulating. Even students who weren't interested in the topic (it was entropy and thermodynamics) were paying attention. The concepts and work load are challenging and will push limits but they won't break you as a student from what I've observed.

The courses are pretty rigorous, but they prepare you well in your field of study.
