[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC goes to Berry and I've been really impressed with it.

The school is very service oriented.  While it's emphasis on educating heads, hearts, and hands is probably not uncommon in colleges, I think the extent that it is embraced by both faculty and students is.

The work study program is specially designed so that students assume greater responsibility during their time at Berry and many will get management experience. While not required, almost everyone participates.

Although the enrollment is relatively small (about 2100), the campus is huge, which my nature loving DC adores.  There's a strong sense of community on campus.  They cherish their traditons (ex. Mountain Day).

Berry has a beautiful, expansive campus, but its location stinx. Rome, GA, is a pit. The school also isn't super progressive, which is what the OP's kid wants.

Oglethorpe in the Buckhead area of Atlanta would be a much better fit, in terms of both location and campus climate. It's in the most bomb part of the ATL — if you're not familiar with the city, downtown is nothing more than a bland collection of buildings where the sidewalks roll up at 6pm; Buckhead and Midtown are where the action is — and the student body is very liberal and into all that social justice jazz.
