Good reviews
Overall 4.9
Barron is a great opportunity to get comfortable in college. The college is fairly small and you can get very close with your professors. I suggest diving in to the philosophy department with the Kozma professors. They were both my favorites and graded very fairly.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.6
It is an extension of high school with a smaller selection of classes, less clubs, worse internet, less students, worse food, and awful professors with a few diamonds in the ruff. There is extremely limited opportunity here. Please, unless you have no other choice, do not waste your time here. Seriously, just take out the loans for another school.
