Liberty University Top Questions

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

Tremayne

I've learned things that I would never have known before. Not only has my brain been academically inclined, but my soul spiritually has too. I came to this school with strong addictions to porn, I even had dealt with recent attempts of suicide. My father missed my graduation since he is in jail, and I almost forgot what love was like. My life was spiralling out of control, until Liberty University came into my life. This school has all kinds of groups to help you with any struggles, they even have prayer hotlines to pray for you everyday. So when people say, "what have you gotten out of your freshman year" I gladly respond, "I remember that I have a meaning in this world.."

To me the most important thing I gained from my college experience was the value of sticking with something even if it is at times difficult. Learning new things can often be overwhelming, especially in a two year program where a broad spectrum of topics are covered in a short period of time, but things became clearer once I learned to take things only as they came. It is impossible to learn everything at once, and the most knowlege is gained by practice. I think that is one of the most valuable lessons I brought away with me upon graduation.

I have gotten a lot out of my college experience so far. I have only attended one year at my community college, but I have realized that college is much more challenging than high school. I am being pushed so much more than what I was in high school and I love this challenge. The hard work actually makes me very happy and these upcoming eleven months will bring me even more challengiing work because not only will I be enrolled at my community college, but also at a vocational school to help further my education in the medical field. Going to college is a very valuable experience because everything that I have learned so far will help me in my career. The medical field is a very hard, but rewarding career field to get into and every course that I have taken in college has helped me be able to get closer to my goal of being an anesthesiologist.

I have gotten out of my college experience that no matter what I go through God will be there and that he will help me get through school.

I have always been a very shy person, and always afraid to ask for help and here at Liberty I don't have that fear anymore. Because I now know and understand that no one is here to judge me, only God can do that. My experiences here have been a blessing and I would not change anything if I had to do anything over again. This school has helped me grow and become a stronger person, and a stronger Christian. I'm proud to attend Liberty University and I hope that if anyone else attends they will have the same kinds of experiences. I am motivated to get up in the morning and get to classes, and I don't know any other college that has ever offered me that kind of joy about education.

My experience at Orange Coast College has been a positive one. It has given me a feel for college life, and I have adapted quite well as a student. However, the time has come and I am ready to move on to an instituion that meets my desires even further. It has also given me a chance to mature, and now I better understand myself as a person. I have become accustomed to succeeding, and I expect nothing less of myself. To me, nothing should be valued more than a college education. No price tag to any college education is a waste of money. There is no more important investment in ones life than a college education. Furthermore, I understand my urge to seek new challanges as a reputable school. The new challenges I wish to seek are those in the Communications Department of University of California, Santa Barbara.

I have found college to be very maturing. It has been my responsibility to make sure my work is on time, I am on time, and I must pace myself to get projects finished. It is nothing like high school. None of the professors remind you that you only have so many days left to get your work in, and you can forget this deal of ten points off for every day it is late. If it is late in college it is 100 points off. What a bummer! I spent my high school years getting by on ten points off and still came out with a 3.5 gpa. Well, the real world has hit and now I have to get stuff done on time. I guess I am doing okay. I have not failed anything yet. I really do like college better than high school because when the teacher is finished for the day you can just leave class. This, of course, is blowing my parents minds. They have had a hard time adjusting to the fact that I do not have to stay the entire 90 minutes for my class.

Want to learn more about yourself than you ever could in professional counseling? Then college is for you. No, it is not the SAT's and ACT's that I am talking about. It is attending classes with such a diverse group of individuals than you could ever imagine. It is actually enjoying the study of topics you never thought you would enjoy. What have I learned about myself? Mostly, how little I already knew! But we have all heard that before. I have discovered that I am the same as others while being just as unique as ever. I have learned I can work at my passion and therefore never have to work a day in my life. College does that for you. Science, Math and English are only subject titles. But don't underestimate what these college classes have in store for you. I am forever changed. Studying about our Earth and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs will not leave me unchanged. This knowledge is with me forever. And discovering my passion for service to others has changed me forever. Thank you, professors, for your knowledge and dedication. It will not go wasted. Thank you.

The college experience offered at Liberty has been the best that anyone could ask for. Because it is a Christian University everyone is uplifting and encouraging. The professors and students all want the best for each other and we all want to grow closer to God in our journey through this school. It has been a positive experience for college because I have been to a few where everyone was only there for themselves and would not help, while here everyone goes out of their way to make sure you suceed in everything that you set out to accomplish.

So far my college experiance has been a blast. It has also been a test to my personhood. I have grown more in these past few months than i have in years. Having to stand on my own shows where one really is. It is not always easy to be at college, there is always alot of work to do, but I have my freinds. Before I went to college I was a true introvert. Im not the one to go out of my way to hang out with people and make freinds. In college it would be to easy to simply hide in my room and just sit doing whatever, but I do not simply sit around. There are so many things to do, and people to hang out with. I would not change my choices for anything. I love Liberty.
