How would we plan our trips without Wikipedia?
The Berry campus, easily the largest land mass campus in the world,
consists of fields, forests, and Lavender Mountain, designated portions
of which are open to the public for hiking, cycling, horse back riding,
and other outdoor activities. Present throughout the campus is a large
population of deer, which are estimated to outnumber students seven to
one. Fishing on some of the campus’ lakes and streams is permitted with
proper permits. Berry also has a wealth of wild turkeys, seasonal ducks
and geese, skunks, and squirrels.
And:
Berry is a college rich in heritage and campus customs are deeply
rooted. The most universal custom is that of greeting everyone on
campus with a smile, a wave, and a cheery “hello.” Freshmen usually
become familiar with this custom on their first day and realize that
much of the beauty of Berry is in this spirit of friendship which one
meets everywhere.
Sounds mighty nice. Pity Wikipedia wasn’t around in 1980 when it would have been useful college decision
making info. And 7 more years ’til my kids start getting there.
and a 590 million dollar endowment. where is all this college endowment money coming from? personally I would never give a donation to a university’s endowment fund.
That sounds absolutely terrible. No, not the campus, but the “universal custom”. The last thing I’d want at a college is a bunch of bunch of phonies walking around and waving at each other.
Dan, I’m all for giving a little money to your university (the more specifically tagged the better). But not to a school’s endowment. Endowments are just a useless competition for the US News rankings.
“and a 590 million dollar endowment. where is all this college endowment money coming from? personally I would never give a donation to a university’s endowment fund.”
two crucial pickles
No problem Dan. And to be honest, I haven’t read any studies on the effectiveness of university endowment funds. Has Tyler or Alex ever written a post on the matter?
I’m sure its a complicated matter. But my gut tells me that donations to a university’s endowment are less effective than a specifically tagged donation. I believe universities try to accumulate a large endowment for prestige reasons. Plus trying to allocate resources from a large endowment sounds less effective than a more market based donation approach.
Ahem,
Yall probably didn’t believe me about the horses thing:

Note that this is the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences.
If you are there on a weekend, try Ballenger’s restaurant, a few miles north of Berry in Gore. You’ll have to make reservations, probably well in advance.
I went there just last year for a speech competition. Beautiful, beautiful campus, I loved every minute of it. We held our awards ceremony in an old church that was built by students of the university a long time ago.
Quite a walk from round to round, though…

I went to Berry College in the 1980s when the campus was actually physically larger than it is currently and enrollment was still under 1,000 students. Many acres were sold and that is one of the sources of the endowment. It is a beautiful campus and although there is no “universal custom” of waving and greeting (can you say … propaganda?) there are few enough people that you really can know most of your classmates if you choose to. Dartmouth has a lovely campus too (I did not go skiing when I was visiting) and if you prefer cooler weather to hot, humid Southern Summers, then it is certainly ideal. But Berry has snow generally once a year and no more often, so if you hate snow and prefer water skiing, go for Berry. The school has an excellent reputation in the sciences and the library is very good for the size of the enrollment.
^^ nice blog!! ^@^
