Location, Local Community, Student Body: 3 Reasons Why I Love Berry with Abby Grace
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
As for three reasons like why I specifically love Berry, I'd have to say the location was just amazing for me. I'm about an hour away from home, so that was a big plus for coming to Berry because I'm a very family oriented person. I wanted to have the college experience of living in my own dorm room and being independent, but also not having to feel isolated from my family and to be able to drive back home and eat dinner with them a night a week. So I basically go home about every other weekend. Not everyone here is like that. Some people, some people I know haven't gone home since they got here and other people I know go home every week, it just depends on the person. For me, I knew that I wanted to balance it and be able to go home when I wanted to and also feel at home here. So for that reason, the location was amazing for me as well as just being in Rome because like I said, I'm from a very small town, so while not everyone would call Rome like a big city, it definitely was for me because this is new to me to be able to like get together with a group of girls and to go shopping at a mall and to go eat or go get our nails done and stuff all like five minutes away from campus. That's brand new to me and I love that. I love having so many options of what to do off campus, you know, if you have a free afternoon, there's so much to do in Rome and I really like it. Another reason that I really love Berry is the student body. Everyone here is so friendly and so loving and so welcoming. It's like our campus is one of the most beautiful campuses ever. It's gorgeous and it's like the people at Berry are just as beautiful. Everyone I've met has been so kind and so, so generous with their time and with their ability to like help you out. So if I'm ever like struggling in a class, I can turn to the person next to me and be like, hey, like what's going on? Like how do I do this? And they're gonna encourage me, number one, just go ask the professor because they're super nice or they're gonna help me themselves and it's just so easy to form friends in this way because everyone is so friendly already and it's just really amazing. You hear about the community of Berry being such a big thing and it really is. It's really amazing.
