Liberty University Top Questions

Liberty is simply amazing

At Liberty University I have recieved more than an education. I have a recieved a lifetime of memories and friendships I will never lose. Liberty takes pride in giving its students to have freedom as well as fun with its activites and events. Liberty has given me many opputunites that I would not have gotten the chance to experience at other colleges. Liberty University is an amazing college with oppitunity for greatness for all of its students.

I've received top-notch science education that rivals most universities as well as solid, Biblical-based, principles that will follow me for the rest of my life. I recommend this university to anyone who wants an uncompromising Christian education along with high quality degree programs that prepare students for graduate schools and the real world.

College will show you reality in the modern world. It will teach you to grow up quickly because your parents will not be there on campus with you. College can pay for itself and it is a great reward to be accepted into an institution after the hard work to put into high school. You will be on your way to a great career and have much more success in life. Keep in mind that college is not for everyone and not every college is for everyone. However you can still have a great future through future studies.

When I began to attend Liberty Universtiy, I was not prepared to enter the world that we live in. Liberty University offers more than I expected when I chose to attend. As a student of Liberty Univerity, I am offered a solid education while I am surrounded by challenging leadership and peers. The professors that teach at this institution are state of the art and are very knowledgable. I have been challegened in so many ways to increase my learning, strengthen my faith, and become a strong leader on every level. I was not expecting to be challenged at this level or in these areas when I sent in the application to this school. Not only are the staff strong leaders and intelliegent teachers, but they are very flexible and helpful. These attributes are very important to a student such as myself. On many occasions, Liberty is described as not only a group of students, professors, and staff, but yet a family. I have enjoyed my experience at Liberty and will be attending this university for the rest of my college career.

College is a major step in becoming and adult. When one enters college freedom becomes huge and reponsibility comes with that freedom. Learning to organize my time and simply growing up are the two main things I have been doing at college. The most valuble thing I have learned is how to deal with people. Interacting with others from a day to day basis is vital for me and anyone that needs to succeed in life.

Through my experience in college, I am now more invigorated and energetic than ever. I am involved with the Film Club at Santa Monica College this semester, while continuing part-time study in psychology. I am particularly fascinated with human emotion, how feelings are involved in the brain, and how it relates to the reaction of our mind to situations, whether real and immediate or passive and fictional. Past experience with a psychological and philosophical perspective has expanded my mind, even since childhood; I now crave the formal training that will complete this experience. I wish to further my understanding of human behavior and cognitive development, enhance my skills both as a creative and technical writer, and ultimately further both scientific and artistic communities.

College is viewed by many as the means for the dream. It is the vehicle that most of us choose to take us from where we are to where we want to be. This was how I viewed my college experience before embarking upon it. But what I have found is so much more. My experience at Liberty University is not simply a step along the path to fulfill my dream; it is a part of my dream. Liberty University has taught me how to live. I am equipped to become the person I have dreamt of being. My education has taught me how my classes are interrelated. I understand how history affected literature and philosophical movements and vice versa. My college experience has been invaluable because I have learned exponentially more than theories, movements, principles, and approaches. I have learned that I always have something more to learn. Life is not about arriving, but progressing. The end of my college career will not mean the end of my education, but merely that it will take a new form. While I am preparing for and excited about the future, I am enjoying every moment of the present.

I attended college right after High School. I love to learn and was eager to complete my degree plan. I struggled at times due to some serious family issues and environment, but perservered. I worked more than part time hours and paid my own way to school. I attended for 84 hours, but ended up with 73 due to untimely withdrawals. My mother was diagnosed with Lung Cancer which became terminal and she passed away within less that 10 months. We were extremely close and I made some bad decisions after that including NOT completing my educuation. I have since regretted that constantly. To be able to have a second chance and attend college to complete a Bach Degree is a prayer answered on many levels.......for my mom, for me, for the opportunity to learn and grow and the incredible achievement that will result. I'm 42, but it's not too late and all of these things are what make the truly valuable! I appreciate it more than I ever could have before. Praise God for His goodness!!

One of the biggest things I have learned here at Liberty is that attending a Christian University does not change the fact that we are all sinners. I knew that when I came here I would be faced with temptations but I did not know that it would be as hard as it is. Half of the people I have met here enjoy drinking, smoking, and many other kinds of sinful things. Where there are many people following these "college times", there are also the so-called "good kids" who have their own problems. Many students here believe that smoking, drinking, drugs, and sex are about the only sins you can commit and if you aren't doing those things then you are on the path of righteousness. Many of these kids fail to realize that lusting, gossiping, lying, envying, boasting, cheating, etc. are also sins. Being a Christian is all about loving one another as Christ loved us and treating others the way Christ would and that is a challenge I will always endure but I am learning a lot from others around me and strive to be more like Christ everyday.
