Lot of Hispanic and Black People
Unlike the University of Florida, which I attended for my undergraduate degree, Barry University is much more expensive on a per credit basis. Therefore, I was surprised to find so many Hispanic and Black students from less than affluent backgrounds. My statements are in no regard meant to be racist. It would make no difference if the entire school was Hispanic or Black, but the fact that the people were from lower income backgrounds made no sense to me. They were taking out loans to go to a school that provided education at a higher cost than a much better state school.
I did also see many students from very affluent backgrounds, who drove fancier cars than my own parents do. Therefore I give Barry an above average grade for diversity, but not excellent because somehow I feel they let lower income students (who tend to on average have lower grades) admission, just for their tuition, which sadly comes in the form of loans which they may have difficulty repaying.
