Parents, Family and Friends Orientation Schedules
We understand how hard it can be for your child to move away from home. But we also know how excited and proud you are for them to begin their journey into college life. To make sure that you are comfortable with your child leaving the nest, we have tailored your orientation schedule so that all questions will be answered, and all worries will be relieved.
Speak with Barry alumni, and get to know how their college experience at Barry University has prepared them for their career goals and real-world experiences. Also, become aware of the many safety measures the university undertakes to ensure all students are safe and taken care of during their time on campus. And if you still have roaming questions about the financial aspect of the academic experience, there will be an information session to address how to take advantage of financial aid.
