Anyone ever heard of Berea College? Sounds pretty cool!

i grew up in northern ky and did a lot of caving around berea. it's a tiny, but pretty little town with some good regional arts and crafts. the college sounds good, but the downside is that you have to live in ky while you go there...

Sounds like a "smart" way to run a college, Nancy. Offers a college education to low-income families.

I played some concerts and taught a masterclass there a couple years ago. It's a great little town, and the campus is beautiful. We stayed in the historic hotel run by the college and staffed by students. All the students we met had great things to say about the school, even if it is in a dry county.

Thanks for the link. I thoroughly enjoyed the article. It's nice to read that the school has remained true to its original mission.
