    Unlike most universities, Berea charges no admission to its 1,500 students. It is considered more selective than other colleges, accepting less than 30% of applicants and generally limiting admission to academically promising students from low-income Appalachian families. Students are however required to work 10 hours a week on campus in one of over 130 departments.Official Site: About Berea College
