Liberty University Top Questions

I wish someone would have warned me about how hard the transition from High School to College would be, and that to thrive in the transition, I would need to get connected with friends and people who would encourage and help me.

I wish I would have known how much my life would change so quickly. I have done a complete 180 since I have been here and it has been the best thing that has ever happend to me.

Before I came to attend Liberty University, I wish that I had known more about the campus, and the great community of the university. Beings that I live in Colorado and that I am financially limited to traveling, I was not able to visit the college until the day that all of us students moved onto campus. Even after arriving on campus, the student body, professors, and administration, always made sure that I felt at home and also made sure that I was taken care of. Knowing that, trying to choose a college would have been easier.

Honestly, how diverse the beliefs of the students are, desptie being predominatly Christian and Conservative, there are students that have diverse religious and political views. Surprisingly, despite the sterotype to the contrary, the student body tends to be respectful of this diversity, whilst still attempting to show the merit of both Christianity and Conservatism to those who are not.

I wish I would of looked into the area surrounding the school along with local organizations that are available. In addition, knowing all the rules of the University to avoid breaking any school rules. Besides this everything else is what I expected it to be.

As a transfer student from another school, I was often afraid of what others might think when I changed schools or programs. I would tell myself that it is okay to follow your passions whether or not there is financial gain involved. Money is a plus, sure, but there would be no reason in wasting time planning your career based off of money or family opinions if you are not passionate about what you are doing. Only God can choose what is in store for you, and more than likely, you would make a greater influencce on someone's life!

One thing I wish I could have known about Liberty is that the school has an amazing community. I was homeschooled before going into college, so I was a very introverted kid. But over my first semester, I made a lot of good friends, and really opened up myself to them. But this didn't happen until late in the semester. During the beginning I was basically on my own and it wasn't easy to get through. So I wish I could have known just how many great friends I was going to make at school beforehand.

I wish I knew what my plans were academically so I knew what I needed to do.

I wish I had known about the school itself or how the whole University/College works before I applied to the school.

I wish I had taken more of the general education classes so I didn't have to take them when I came here. I also wish I had figured out the bes tway to study. Learn to discipline yourself to study in the ways that are helpful to you.
