The Best Place for International Students. 4 months ago Matthew, Class of 2026 Miami, Florida Barry University is a small yet dynamic school with a diverse student body. Barry has a close-knit community of students who are warm, sincere, and always supportive. I would definitely recommend that you visit the Hall of Flags if you get the chance to visit the campus!
