Liberty University offers top of the line education. From the faculty and the students, to the facilities and the resources, Liberty's primary focus is to prepare students to assume leadership roles in society (www.libertyu.com).
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is always buzzing with activities to do! Every home sporting event has the stands filled with Flames fans cheering on the Red and Blue. Concerts are held almost every week, showcasing many talents found on campus. Live music always plays in the cafeteria, with games, prizes and loads of fun. The best part of about campus is the constant fellowship with everyone. You'll quickly discover the fast growing relationships that are developed on campus; between student and teacher, students and counselors, athletes and coaches, you'll even find yourself high-fiving your administrators like their your best friends! The bonds made at Liberty are certainly one of a kind.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
After adding everything up on the college necessity list, it's normal to stress and need to step away to catch your breath, but with Liberty you can feel extremely secure in knowing that every penny is going to a strong establishment that is 110% focused on your future. Yes, its a private, Christian University, but its worth every penny. You have some of the best educators in the country at this school and amazing programs that will challenge you in every aspect of your major, but it doesn't stop there! Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we have something called Convocation, which is pretty much like a HUGE chapel for the entire campus to come together and hear encouraging words from famous authors, musicians, artists, pastors, athletes and missionaries. So, on top of the great professors, we are taught even more by the visitors also interested in our callings. There's a gym, ice skating rink, basketball courts, an indoor track, indoor soccer and basketball arena, plus computer labs, curriculum libraries...EVERYTHING you could ask for. An additional plus about Liberty is the willingness to help in any way possible financially. Depending on one's major, their family's income, and even educational achievments like honor roll or high GPA, Liberty offers many scholarships in order to decrease financial burden.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My advice for prospective students would be to come to the campus with an open heart and an open mind, ready to be molded. Don't let your past, your weaknesses, or anything limit you from the potential you have to change the world. Liberty is definitely a place that can give you a strong foundation to learn and develop if you're willing to let the Lord take hold of your talents and use them to change the world for his glory. Secondly, Liberty University follows a strong mission statement to the T and proudly holds the title of the largest Christian University in the country. With that title, they have very high standards and rules for every student to uphold on campus which includes dress codes, required attendances to Convocation (chapel), room checks every other day, curfew, no co-ed dorms etc. Some of these rules and requirements can, I'll admit, get a little tedious and irritating but it's something that can eventually be adapted to. Liberty is not the place to necessarily live the college life (i.e.. drinking, drugs, parties etc.), but it is a campus where fun is around every corner and can contribute to a positive educational, social and spiritual growth.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who:
- desire to be spiritually challenged
- ready to be well-rounded in their majors
- thrive off of encouragment and constant positivity
- want to become leaders
- those who love to have fun (there is so much to do on campus and even off campus!)
