Decision Berry

Decision Berry is designed for high school seniors or transfer students (and their parents) who have been offered admission to Berry for fall 2025.

We want YOU to get involved so that you can get a feel for what life is really like here at Berry. You’ll have the chance to attend interactive sessions on residence life, student activities and student work opportunities. You can meet with a professor in your program area, connect with your future classmates or tour our academic buildings for one final look at where you'll spend your next four years. After you register, you’ll receive a survey so you can let us know exactly what you’re interested in doing while you’re on campus. We’ll build a schedule just for you so you can make the most of your visit. Your adventure is up to you!

Your parents will get to attend some sessions with you as well as options designed just for them, covering academics, student experience and campus life. They will also join you for some of your sessions!

Driving directions to Berry are available online. When you arrive, enter Berry through the main entrance on Martha Berry Hwy. As a guest, you will be asked to stop at the Welcome Center. Please watch for signs and be prepared to provide identification. After you enter campus, follow the signs for Admission Event parking.

If your friends or siblings are also students who have been offered admission to Berry for fall 2025, we'd like for them to register for the event separately so that we can be prepared with personalized information when they check in. Due to space limitations, each student attending Decision Berry is limited to bring 2 guests, so if your friends or siblings are prospective students who have not yet applied or been admitted to Berry, we recommend they register for a Preview Day event.

Decision Berry is designed to give you the information you need most in finding the best college fit for you. Each session is designed for YOU to be actively involved and experience life from a student's perspective. You'll have more opportunities to get to know us and other incoming students, and there will be plenty of options to explore the campus so you can see what you want to see.

Absolutely! Optional campus tours will allow you to see a residence hall room as well as the dining hall. We’ll also have Residence Life staff and current students available to talk to you about your options, and you can view photos of residence halls and learn more about what it’s like to live at Berry on our student housing site.

Admission staff will be available throughout the day to answer any general questions you may have about the financial aid process. We’ll also be able to help you set up a time for a virtual meeting with a Financial Aid counselor at a later date so you can dig even deeper if you still have questions.

If you can't come to Decision Berry, we would encourage you to schedule a daily visit with the Office of Admission. We can set you up with an individual meeting with your admission counselor and arrange a meeting with a professor in your program area to help you get the information you need to make your college choice.

Decision Berry is designed for students who have been offered admission for fall 2025. If you haven't been offered admission yet, please consider coming for a daily visit.

Our Preview Days would better serve students who are beginning their college search and/or have not yet begun the application process.
