The seeds of Berry College were planted in 1902, with the opening of the Boys' Industrial School, a boarding school for boys located approximately three miles north of Rome, Georgia. The school's creation was the result of the vision and devoted efforts of Martha Berry, the daughter of a prosperous local business owner.
From its inception, Berry has pursued a bold and distinctive approach to meeting the challenge of preparing students for life.

Small school size, benefits of a close campus and very walkable with many amenities. Departments are generally very small and can be limited by their expertise. Very benefiting to making close connections with advisors, small class sizes. Never had much difficulty getting the classes I wanted. Many opportunities to work and research. Options to work on campus in many fields and conduct research with campus support.
