The popular, alternative magazine Mental Floss has highlighted eight tuition-free colleges, including Berea, in a recent article on their Web site.

The article was also published by the Wall Street Journal.

Berea has received plenty of national media attention in the last year. On May 2, 2009, Time magazine featured Berea in the article "Deci$ion$: How One College Snags So Many Students."

On July 21, 2008, the New York Times referred to Berea as an institution that provides the "best education that money can't buy." One day later, on July 22, Associate Provost Joe Bagnoli appeared on Fox News.
