My daughter leaves for Berry College Friday

In the past I have asked questions about Berry College and received some interesting facts about it from the forum. After two trips down by my daughter she decided it was better than the University she was attending (Stevens University). Tuition is less, the scholarships are better so it was a no brainer. When I was in Rydal Georgia over Christmas break we drove to Rome and visited the campus. What a nice place! Her dorm is in the stone buildings that look like a large castle. We are very excited. My 21 year old son will make the drive down with my daughter, stay at our friends home and fly back.
After reading the earlier posts in the forum about speeding in Virginia, I made it clear to him not to speed too much over the posted limit.
Thanks for all the previous information on Berry. (She hopes to become a doctor)

Good luck to your daughter. We know several kids of friends or friends of our daughters who’ve attended Berry, enjoyed it, and done well there.

Good luck on her quest to become a doctor, too. Have her take advantage of volunteer and shadow opportunities at hospitals as well as all the leadership positions she can get in college. Start studying for the MCAT early. Our younger daughter graduated from med school last May and has been recommending these steps to those considering that path.

The stone castle looking building has been the traditional girls dorm since the late 50’s early 60’s when my parents went to Berry and fell in love. Excited for your you guys.
