The people at Berry are awesome. Very informative, love what they do and are willing to help you out any chance they get. I understand the Groupon deal brought a lot of last minute before the end of certification season buyers including myself but they handled the larger classes well without issues or a bad attitude and as long as you approach Scuba and the fact that its not a game to be 60 feet under water you'll love Berry and their instructors and personnel. If you're just getting certified to put it on your IG account then I don't think anyone at Berry nor fellow students would give you much respect anyways.
