Liberty University Top Questions

First of all it is obvious that one school cannot cater to the specific needs and desires of every student. Liberty University is not for everyone, and those who do not feel it is for them should by no means settle for it. However those who love Liberty really love it! Although it is not perfect for everyone, it is one of the wisest choices among universities due to the broad range of academic, spiritual, and life experiences that it offers. Athletics are outstanding as well and are rapidly growing into some of the nation's better programs. It is a Christian school so it offers a very spiritually enriching environment, but on the other hand it is also tolerant and understanding. With a wide range of ethnicity, and a realatively large and very friendly student body it is easy to connect with other students which gives the school its strong community. In choosing a school, it is imparative to consider specific attributes the student wishes to gain from his or her educational experience. Liberty University is versatile enough to meet the needs and goals of most, and it focuses on preparing the whole person for whatever path they choose.

visit the college as much as possible, such as with 'college for a weekend' programs. also, try not to go to a college more than five hours away. it's a pain to drive eight hours if there's an emergency, and plane tickets aren't always an option.

There are many things that I could talk about that would help parents, teachers, and students to find the right college and then enjoy the experience. Most important, I would tell students to be realistic about their goals and their grades! Watch out! Some colleges are very stressful and competitive while others lack what you need to fulfill your greatest potential. KNOW YOUR CAREER INSIDE AND OUT! Know how much of a degree you need, licensure, availability of the job in your location, and the pay (remember paying back loans).Go to class, seriously! Ask to look the school over without a tour guide. Get a map of the campus and explore yourself. Find another peer who has the same limitations as you and question them on their grades. Make sure you make friends with a counselor because at some point you will need one whether you are having a (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, grades) hard time. Look at financial issues because school is expensive and you can get into debt quickly. HAVE FUN! There are people who can?t go to college.

Pick the school that is right for your and your dreams and goals. The school you choose should be dedicated to helping you attain those goals and succeding in your chosen career.

Before deciding on the college that's best for you be sure to visit the school. In order to make the most of your college experience remember not to stress and that at times it's okay to take a break and have fun with your friends.

I would tell parents and students to go visit schools, even if you have your heart set on going to a certain school for whatever reason, make sure you go and visit the school, and find out the rules of the school before you agree to go. I go to a private Christian school and so many people come to Liberty because of sports or because their parents force them to come, and they come not aware of the rules that er put in place to keep us accountable, and then all they do about the rules is complain. You are chosing to be at that school, make yourself aware of the rules of the instituation so that if you do not agree with them, you have no right to complain about them, because the last thing anyone wants to hear is someone complaining because they chose to go somewhere without finding out the rules and regulations before enrolling.

Choosing what college is best for a student really falls into the hands of the student. The parents should support the student and provide insight but not ultimately force the decision. It's a big choice to be made, so it should take as much ample time as needed. What a person does to plan out the steps to the future is key and be taken very serisouly. One thing should be considered as well, college isn't for everyone, so one must go if they are willing to put the money spent to good use. Transitioning to the experience, time in college will never be forgotten. It's a monumental time in a person's life and it can make or brake them. Life-long friendships will be constructed and fundamental learning for the future will be accomplished in the years spent at the college. In being that the years in college will determine where a person is going in their life, they should give it all they have and not leave anything to chance. Don't make the mistakes some of us have and find the motivations you need to ultimately help you succeed.

Find a place that you feel comfortable at. visit as many an you can, and get a feel for the place. Talk to a varity of students about how things at the school have gone for them (law of large numbers most definatly applies here). Talk to professors about what you might be looking for. Once you've found a place, don't slack off! No matter what your upperclassmen room mate tells you, blaze your own trail. Take advice, not commands. Find like-minded friends, don't be afraid to ditch the ones you know will make college hell for you. Find your balence quickily, professors are never forgiving, and keep forging ahead.

Do not force your child into attending a specific college. If you do so, then the child will resent the school, and you in turn. Students, go only where YOU feel is best. Not because your friends are going to a specific school, and deffinantly not where you're love interest is going. Choosing a college is a huge decision. Yes, you can transfer out later if need be; but you'll be closer to people if you stay the full 4 years. Join clubs, organizations, take classes you are really interested in. If you have to stay for 5 years because you goofed around, that's fine. Learn who you are during your time in college.

do what feels right.
