Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I am currently a student at Barry University and will be graduating in 2014. I am majoring in chemistry. I feel that some of these reviews do not do the justification of BU. At first the campus can be very hard to get used too, but I have met some of the best people here. Classes are not as hard as I had thought, but the staff is very helpful and at nay time you can go up to their office and professors will help you. Kids at BU can be snotty, but their are plenty of people that are not. Also Miami is so beautiful and has plenty of things to do.

I attended Barry's 2+2 program to become a teacher. I did not know anything about Barry prior to attending. An advisor went to Miami Dade College and gave me great options.It was the best decision I ever made. The program was designed to keep all students together throughout the program. Each one of us helped each other out and pushed each other to finish. It was extremely hard because it was a Mon-Fri 3hrs a day per class. The professors were amazing. The work was extremely challenging but in the end very helpful. All classes were taken at a satellite center which was great. I completed my Bachelors degree in May of 2006 and quickly put in for Barry's graduate program for Exceptional Student Education. Barry has been a fantastic experience and it was worth the money.

The only warning I would give to incomming students is that the actual neighborhood surrounding the school is not that attractive. It is close to little Haiti which does not give it a high appeal. The school itself however is a really beautiful school and a great experience.
