Review of Liberty University

from Phenix City, AL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This college offers many different kinds of learning. Since it is a Christian university, there is a strong emphasis on the spiritual education that you will receive. Everyone is required to take a class in Old Testament Bible, New Testament Bible, and two Theology classes. These are not very difficult, but they are quite comprehensive. Our School of Religion is considered by many as one of the best undergraduate schools on the subject in the nation. We have an amazing nursing program and a strong Law School with a percentage of graduates passing the bar. Our school of engineering is growing and while currently unaccredited, it is seeking accreditation soon. The most important thing that you will learn at Liberty is how to live your life for Christ.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

At Liberty, we consider ourselves the World's Most Exciting University. We have our own SnowFlex Ski/Snowboard Center, NCAA Div. I Athletics, Intramural Athletics, Ministry Teams, Concerts (Recently Switchfoot, The Fray, and Tenth Avenue North), an amazing theatre department, and a great student body. The atmosphere on campus is one that you must experience for yourself.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Liberty is obviously not the cheapest university, but it is absolutely worth it. Liberty has thousands of dollars in scholarships that are regularly awarded to each student. This knocks the cost of school down to a competitive price. The calibre that this school has is so high for the price you pay.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do not take all of your lower level classes in your first two years. A common misconception is that you should ease into college by taking your easier classes upfront. I disagree unless you are undecided on your major. By delaying all of your upper level classes until your Junior and Senior year, you are killing yourself with a difficult course load in your later years. The best thing is to leave a few easy classes that you can do in your Junior and Senior years that will be a rest from your other major classes.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you want to grow closer to God, this is the place to be. Big-time university feel with a foundation of Biblical truth. If you are wanting to go into missions, youth ministry, nursing, sports, theatre, communications, or you are unsure, this place is an awesome experience where God is going to reveal His plan for your life through the time you spend here.
