Okay, I just found out Berry College has 27,000 acres.
Twenty-seven thousand.
That's bigger than some small countries.
They have miles of trails. Actual mountains. A working farm. Students ride horses between classes if they want to.
Why is no one talking about this?
I visited last month, and the campus felt more like a national park than a college. Deer everywhere. Hiking trails behind the dorms. It's unreal.
But here's my question: does the pretty scenery actually matter for education? Or is it just a distraction?
I keep hearing about the "Berry Bubble" —this idea that students get so isolated they forget the real world exists.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
