Berry College

I did my graduate work at a large public university, and for me, the experience just couldn't compete. I felt like a number, even in the small graduate classes, and I was depressed and lost. At Berry there was always someone to turn to for help or advice. The bottom line is that Berry is not for everyone. It's unique, but that uniqueness is what made it such a good experience for me. If you go, go with the understanding that the classes can be difficult, although this is ultimately to your benefit. Berry wants to graduate people who will reflect well on them, so they make sure you know your stuff before they let you out. Understand also that the students there can be condescending and uptight, but there are also plenty who are warm, friendly, and open-minded. And the faculty can't be beat.
