Berry College in Rome, GA, my undergrad alma mater. The filming was done in late summer of 1988. I have no idea why this fact has completely disappeared; it isn't in the Wikipedia article about Berry, either. They hadn't cast Robin Williams yet when they started filming, and filmed all the scenes that he wasn't in. Then it ground to a halt when they were done and they still hadn't cast him. They claimed to have reshot the whole thing after he was cast, but we didn't buy it. Some of the scenes were clearly from the other school, but others were instantly recognizable. [Thanks to Lynda]
I'm a Berry College Alum. The college has a set of buildings called the Ford Buildings that were paid for by Henry Ford, and built to look like Oxford College, England. When filming first started for Dead Poets Society, they tried to use Berry College. They tried to spray the grounds leading to the Ford Buildings to make it appear later in the fall. It had an odd look, and I suppose that's one of the reasons they abandoned the idea and moved elsewhere. [Thanks to Anonymous]

LX Preview
LX is our radical new locations feature that we've been beavering away on.. For years!
Each location will have it's own page with then/now pictures, maps, StreetView, discovery story and the most detailed explanations on how the location was used. Most importantly, the locations will have a status that shows whether they are verified correct and by whom. We are working with the actual locations managers or other crew where possible. The whole thing will be very interactive and you will, of course, be able to update everything.
