Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Barry is a great university because it feels like its own community, yet everyone is so diverse and different. The class sizes here are small, and the professors are welcoming, warm, and give students personal attention, allowing for close-knit relationships to form between faculty and students. This makes each student feel like an individual who actually matters to the University. And it’s not just the professors who are welcoming—the other students here are very friendly, as well. From late-night snack runs to eating at the local restaurants with friends, students will create enough memories here to last a lifetime. Another perk is that Barry is very generous with financial aid, so if you think you can’t afford the tuition at this private school, think again.

And the fact that Barry is in Miami makes it even better. With its amazing beaches, clubs, restaurants, and entertainment, this city truly has it all! So if you’re looking for a unique college experience, give Barry a try, because as the motto says, “Barry is where you belong.”

Feels Like Home, and I Only Live 15 Minutes Away

I never want to leave Barry to go home. I feel safe walking around campus, and I always have someone to say "hi" to. It's been really easy making friends just because everyone is so nice. Staying at Barry also means getting to go to all the events that always have a meaning, whether it's getting the word around that it's Earth Day, teaching us how to save energy, or fundraising money for organizations that are looking for cures to end diseases. The professors are amazing. They are always in their offices when they say they will be and will always help when you ask. Classroom sizes are small, which makes for a great learning experience, and it's easy to ask questions. All this comes at an expensive price, though. However, the scholarships they give out are pretty good.

My Money's Worth

Barry is a good school. It's a private school, so the class sizes are pretty small, and students get the extra attention they need from the professors. I believe that I'm getting my money's worth and will be a proud graduate of this fine institution.

Best School

Barry is the friendliest campus! By far!!! I had an amazing time when I was part of the people who took the bus to horror noghts universal during october. i thought thwe people were extremly friendly and easy to communicate. I would say they concentrated on making friends and just sticking to their own people which made it easier for all of us to strat filling like a family.
