    I was thinking that this looked a lot more like Berry College, and I’m sure it’s bigger than 8k acres.

    Yep it is, looks like its 28,000 Acres, it’s just outside of Rome, GA.

    Founder was Martha Berry.

    Actually this was the college I wanted to go to since I have family in Rome—it’s a beautiful place and the buildings are really awesome.
