Liberty University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Cheryle

I wish that I would have known the impact that a college degree would have had on my life to this point. Had I stayed in school and completed my degree, I would have been able to take better care of my infant children when I got divorced from my first husband. The stability of a career and a home would have been the results of my completing a degree program the first time around. My children and I could have had a much easier life to this point, and I could have spent more time with my family.

Christine

Although I have had a positive experience, there are many things I wished I had known. I should have looked in to the academic levels here, the time consumption with prerequisite classes, and the music program.

Ian

I wish I had been more familiar with the transfer policies and procedures involved. I ended up spending a semester at a different school which took far less credits from my community college. It pays to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck.

Matthew

I wish I had known just exactly how much I have to stay on top of financial mattters in relation to the cost of tuition and books. Because I did not realize how much attention and planing these matters required, I went through many unnecessary difficulties.

Cody

I wish I knew that I could have attended this school earlier than I did, with scholarships, grants and loans I could have attended a University much sooner than I did, and I regret not going to one as soon as I graduated high school.

Vanessa

I wish I had known the fact that students have to complete 'Financial Check-In" twice a year. Entering Liberty, I had no idea that was the case, and my parents and I did not plan accordingly for the Spring semester. Now I have no idea whether I will continue my semester at Liberty. I also wish I had known that there are not too many clubs for students to join and interact. It is actually really hard for students to get to know each other besides a couple of occasions, like convocations and sports.

Alysha

I wish I had known just how much athletics takes precedence over academic quality - it is a little discouraging.

Amy

I wish I had known what a wonderful experience this school would be. I think, had I known that, I would have started my degree earlier in my life instead of starting at the age of 36.

Jesse

What i needed to save on money wise in order to make it easier in my pocket. Schoo,l is not cheap but the outcome will help me make someting for my family. I would like to show my children that their father can do it and so can they.

Samuel

I really wish that I would have sat down and asked current or recent students about the school policies. This would have prepared me for what was to come instead of a being shocked upon arrival about the strict rules.
