What should every freshman at Liberty University know before they start?

Carolyn

Here I have gotten an amazing Christian education along with education in key important classes, such as English, Bio, Math, just like at any other college, but theology and philosophy classes here are taught with a Christian values incorporated here. You will be enlightened, but not pushed towards Christianity, here it is left for you to decide your future. Classes are important here, but that's only half of the college experience, but here we party in different way than most schools, we don't drink alcohol here or smoke, but we enjoy our friends and finding coffee shops off campus, as well as enjoying concerts and movies.

There are people here who actually care about you. this is a very big school, but that doesn't stop the love and care the students feel around campus. The experience I've had here is irreplacable and I would easily do it over again.

Sharlette

Well unfortunately I didn't develop good study habits through it all but I did learn the value and importance of making good grades. I learned a lot about society and the business world and soon I will learn about the health world. I will be attending college once again in Summer 2011 for radiology. College is so valuable because not only are you expanding your knowledge, but you are also gaining knowledge on political things and events happening in America. I am not into politics at all but going to college helped me stay informed about issues I knew nothing about and I'm very thankful for that. My experiences while going to college will always stick with me through life and the ones soon to come will just give me more to smile about.

College is not just for career preparation; it is more accurately life preparation. College provides the opportunity to learn how to effectively manage time, resources, financial responsibility, and society's diverse nature. The two most important benefits I have received is the continuance in development of self discipline and personal growth.

Nathan

I have gotten so much out of my college experience that I cannot imagine having gone without it. Not only have I challenged myself, and been challenged to learn more and think better, but I have been exposed to incredible diversity. The awesome thing about college is, not just the learning, but getting to know people from different areas of the world, different cultures, and different perspectives.

My identity in Christ is the most valuble thing I have gotten out of this school. There is nothing so more valuble in the world than an assurance you are Loved by Jesus Christ and he has died for your sins and transgressions. He forgave me, I have his forgiveness and now eternal life in Him.

Samantha

When I was in college I found a community that was there to help me no matter what I needed. I learned things in school that I've never known before. Unfortunately, when I graduated from college I earned a college degree that has been no use to me.

Dina

Being here at Liberty has been such an amazing experience. They expose you to so many positive stuff, such as, church, clubs to help you be a better person, and all sorts of activities. It has been very valuable to attend because this university is like no other. I have watch many students go off to college and come back a different person but this university allows you to be yourself without being pressured to change. On the spiritual note, if you do not have a personal relationship with Christ, they aided you in every way possible to draw you close to Him.

Jessica

So far thanks to my college experience I have grown as a person and have learned how to do things for myself now. Thanks to my major, aviation, I now know how to fly a plane. College is valuable because it opens doors for my future and gives me a chance to have a career as a search and rescue helicopter pilot.

Jessica

From my college experience, I have gained a new perspective of the world. My previous attendance at a small, country school made the world seem much less intricate and complex than the world my college instructors alluded to. I learned how much the things we do are interconnected with the choices and lives of others who don’t live in our town, state, or country, which gave me a whole new understanding of how international relations work. But beyond this, I discovered where my place in this big, interconnected world is. I learned that I am perfectly cut out for a career in Music Therapy. Though the world is big and we are small, we can still make a big difference in the lives of those who we come into contact with. College has taught me that I can excel in Music and in Science, which are both used in Music Therapy. Using this awareness I plan to equip myself to make a big difference in the lives of those who are in need of this kind of care, and in the lives of those who I come into contact with along the way.
