I come from a small town and public high school. So Liberty was somewhat of a culture shock when it comes to academics. I have been challenged by the curriculum and forced to question issues that I never would have given a second thought before. High school was very easy for me, so I just assumed college would be the same way. That was terrible reasoning! I have learned more in one semester here than I ever would have in my four years at Chardon High. It isn't necessarily difficult curriculum, you just have to work for what you pay for, and I like that a lot.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I'm going to just come out with the truth: Liberty is not the most welcoming of all colleges. But what college is? Yes, the faculty made it as painless a transition as possible, but some of the students here were not so kind. Do not get me wrong, I have a ton of friends and I love every single one of them, but there are some very harsh people here. Of course, you will always find difficult people everywhere you go, I guess I was just one of those who had a bad experience with some of them.
What I enjoy the most is the Christian atmosphere. I have met such intelligent Christians who truly love God and know His Word. There are plenty of students, as well as teachers, who can spiritually sharpen you and guide you through your walk with God.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I always joke with my friends that Liberty is a lot like Disney World. It could pretty much be its own country if it wanted to! The men and women who run this show are doing their best to give back to the students as much as possible. We just recently built a Snowflex, which is a ski slope without snow! I've been there a couple of times and the facilities are great! That is just one example of what the faculty is doing to return the favor of tuition.
When it comes to education, I believe the professors are top notch and really know what they are teaching us. All of my teachers are fantastic and very knowledgeable. It made the transition process that much easier. The chancellor told us that the faculty at Liberty prides itself on hiring the best educators and the strongest Christians. Strong faith is a sign of a strong foundation for a college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I have a few things I would like to throw out there. Here at Liberty, you get what you pay for. So, rest assured, every penny of your tuition here is worth it. Secondly, Be sure to guard your mind, body, and spirit when on campus. This place is a safe one, and you have to understand that you can get comfortable with your spirituality and that could be a problem. The final thing, enjoy every minute here! God has blessed this campus and so you should enjoy those blessings!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The ideal student to go here would be someone who truly wants to grow in Christ and get a great education while doing it. I recommend that you prepare yourself for the people you will meet. Most of the students are genuine, but some are also fake. Remember to guard your mind, body, and spirit and let God guide you through it all.
