Some of the most interesting people I've ever met had gone to berea. One notable example was when I met him working as a farrier but had a MM piano performance from berklee and had published papers in a CS journal. Another was a chef, would give me a six stone handicap in go (I was playing 1-2 kyu at the time) and then tear me apart in between heroic bong rips. These just not common combinations of skill and interest at all.
