    Good school not hard at all. The only bad thing is the fact there's nothing to do around town.

    I had to do a grocery delivery for a student at Berry College today. And that was the worst…read moreexperience I have had doing this job in over a year. Not Only was I treated unprofessionally, but the student was as well. My purse was recently stolen and I had to order a new drivers license when I got to the welcome center. I showed them the delivery order and the license order and situation the young guy at the gate had to go in and speak to this overweight girl with who is taking her job a little too serious and she refused to allow me to deliver the order. They told me to call the customer and make her come to the welcome center which is a 15 minute walk one way and it is over 70° today with all of her groceries. Which would have taken her at least three trips she was finally able to find a ride up there, but the welcome center only had one available parking spot. to be a handicap spot. And even though the overweight lady knew that they were coming up there to quickly get the groceries she sent the extremely overly aggressive wanna be police out there to harass these poor kids. I was absolutely shocked at how aggressive he was approaching them knowing they were just picking up their groceries that the fat girl wanted them to walk in the heat to get knowing that she would never do that. They were so apologetic and polite to this man, and he just continued to talk to them like they were beneath him had that been my kid he was speaking to I would have went to jail today and the fact that parents pay as much money as they do for these kids to attend that school just for them to be treated like that is insane to me!!!!!! there is absolutely no justification for how any of that played out today!! that wanna be police officer and that overweight girls need a serious lesson in professionalism!!!! I have never seen that type of behavior from anyone at College until today and honestly, I could care less about how they treated me but the way that they treated students at that campus is absolutely not. OK. Y'all should be ashamed!! them sweet kids look like they wanted to cry. They said that that is the normal there.

    We were in town and wanted to take a driving tour of the 27000 acre college. Only about 2200…read morestudents in this beautiful layout. College looks like a magical life where you can learn and be free of the words worries. We saw hundreds of dear. It was normal to see 10 to 20 dear in someone's yard. It was a beautiful place to get off the road for an hour and enjoy the peace.

    Sunday, March 9th, Tony and I was driving back to Nashville from Birmingham and I chose a road…read moreroute via Talladega so I could check out their historical buildings. I didn't know that there was this historical college here so I was very pleased and in awe of some of the gorgeous buildings that made up the campus of this old college. Even though there is Security Alert sign about 24 hr protection...No ONE stopped us. I enjoyed this college because of all the old buildings. When in the area, you should stop by and check it out. History: Talladega College, located in Talladega, Alabama, is a private, liberal arts college. It holds the distinction as Alabama's oldest private historically black college. As of 2009 the school received full SACS accreditation The history of Talladega College began on November 20, 1865, when two former slaves William Savery and Thomas Tarrant, both of Talladega, met in convention with a group of new freedmen in Mobile, Alabama. From this meeting came the commitment, "...We regard the education of our children and youth as vital to the preservation of our liberties, and true religion as the foundation of all real virtue, and shall use our utmost endeavors to promote these blessings in our common country." With this as their pledge, Savery and Tarrant, aided by General Wager Swayne of the Freedmen's Bureau, began in earnest to provide a school for the children of former slaves of the community. Their leadership resulted in the construction of a one-room school house using lumber salvaged from an abandoned carpenter's shop. The school overflowed with pupils from its opening and soon it was necessary to move into larger quarters. Meanwhile, the nearby Baptist Academy was about to be sold under mortgage default. This building had been built in 1852-53 with the help of slaves - including Savery and Tarrant. A speedy plea was sent to General Swayne for its purchase. General Swayne in turn persuaded the American Missionary Association to buy the building and some 20 acres (81,000 m2) of land for $23,000. The grateful parents renamed the building Swayne School and it opened in November 1867 with about 140 pupils. A building constructed before the war with slave labor for white students became the home of the state's first college dedicated to serving the educational needs of blacks. In 1869, Swayne School was issued a charter as Talladega College by the Judge of Probate of Talladega County. The former Baptists Academy building, now known as Swayne Hall, has remained in service as the symbol and spirit of the beginning of the college. Andrews Hall, built in 1910, houses the Music Department and the Education Department. It is named for George Whitfield Andrews, D.D., Dean of Theological Department from 1875 to 1908. Arthur D. Shores Hall, constructed in 1974, is named for the late Attorney Arthur D. Shores, Class of 1927, who served for many years as a member and chairman of the College Board of Trustees. De Forest Chapel, built in 1903 in commemoration of the life and service of the Rev. Henry Swift De Forest, D.D., President of the College from 1879 to 1896. DeForest Chapel was renovated in 1996 and rededicated November 1996. De Forest was the father of inventor Lee De Forest. Fanning Refectory, built in 1928 from a legacy of Dr. David H. Fanning of Worcester, Massachusetts. The building contains the student and faculty dining rooms. Juliette Derricotte House, built in 1940-41, was the gift of the Harkness Foundation and named for Juliette Derricotte, Class of 1918, who at the time of her death in 1932 was a member of the Board of Trustees. Formerly a staff residence and guest house, it was converted into a women's honors dormitory in 1988. Silsby Science Hall, constructed in 1926, was named for Dr. E. C. Silsby,[2] who was a member of the College faculty for 37 years. The building was a gift of the General Education Board and friends and alumni of the College. It contains the laboratories and classrooms for the Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
