Liberty University

I was forced to go to Liberty University, but still had a positive outlook on it. When I first got here I was placed in a Main Dorm and it was terrible. The girls on my hall were mostly all girls that lived together on a hall from last year and were nice but not friendly. My roomates never went to sleep and mostly cared about themselves. One of my roomates had so much stuff I was cramped into a corned. So then I moved to the quads. Most of the people in my quad were Nursing majors but they were jr. year and not very willing to help. My roomate is boycrazy and right now is trying to break up this guy she likes from his gf.

The rules are enforced to no end, and the PL's, SLD's, RA's never leave you alone. Always making you go to prayer groups which are the most pointless things I've ever been too. People here expect you to go to church and be a perfect christian and follow all these stupid rules. It's worse than living with my parents!! I get the best power naps out of convocation, I could care less about property taxes and politics. They are one sided here anyways, if you liked anyone else besides John McCain youd be shunned.

The food here is terrible. Chick fil' A is ok, but it gets old. The Asian food is gross. The ROT is terrible. The only good thing is the salad and half the time they are out of dressing.

The classes are huge and I feel like I am not even important. My anatomy teacher assigns objectives almost every class and it gets so boring doing the same thing all the time. the average score on my first test was a 55, seriously did the teacher not get the hint?!

After the first home game or a coastal game no one really goes to the sports games.
The town itself is really boring. Walmart is crazy and after 9 oclock you cant even go out!
I hate it here, I wish I never came. I have literally no friends, and Im so sick of girls. I never see guys and the brother/sister dorm activies never follow through. Im so sick of having religion shoved down my throat! We pray before every class. East is a nice campus but you might as well live off campus for the price. Overall it is not worth time and money to go here. Go somewhere else!!

Campus Aesthetics: A-, Surrounding City: D-

I am a Lynchburg native. My children went to Liberty Christian Academy (the high school affiliated with LU). I can tell you that Liberty University is not well respected academically and neither is the high school. Whenever we needed answers from the academic guidance ....NOONE would even return our calls! They hire new grads (of course from LU) to teach at the high school..so the quality of education is greatly lacking!! OVERCROWDING is a HUGE problem! There is never enough food for the students and some never even get served. The motto of LU is bring MORE and MORE students in....Accept everyone (regardless of their GPA)....just pack them in even though there is nowhere to park or house them!! I know first hand of nursing students that were LAUGHED at by the local hospitals because the LU academics are disregarded. They aren't taken seriously. The crowds are huge and the student services are slim....it's just way too many for LU to handle....it's all about the money. So in short, if you get caught up in the great sales pitch and become a student....don't be surprised to be packed in like a sardine!! (because of course...you won't be denied....like I said...they will take ANYONE!!!)
