this college sucks! Everyone is fricken hypocritical. It's all about the "Liberty Way." I know personally of people who sneak drugs, have homosexual sex, and call themselves Chrsitian, I'm transferring this semester,

After 1 year at LU [both 1 semester commuter and the other as an on-campus]. i'm questioning whether going there was really right. part of it's my lack of skill when it comes to learning math at a super-human speed.
The kids there seem to have their heads and one of their hands assimilated into their cell phone 24-7 and don't watch what they are doing, and seem to enjoy blocking up traffic. also the native students [as in coming from another part of america] are vapid, vain, and materialistic.

some of the classes are good. I loved Coms 101, Dr. Putney's GNED classes, CSCI 111, and Ed hindson's Old testament survey. but those are the only ones that are good to me, the others are classes that are either , boring, teach materialism instead of biblical altruism, or you need to be a genius to understand.

The food at ANY of their dining facilities is good, just VERY HARD to get to because of long lines and vapid natives that cut themselves into the line.

If you are going to come to Lu, brig patience and do not attend their residential program. DLP's the way to go. no arrogant brats to deal with, and you don't even need to move.

Liberty is one of the top Christian schools that one could go to period. There are a few issues that people continually wine about. #1 Rules: Liberty is not any more strict these days than any other Christian college. #2 Religion forced: Well Liberty is a Christian college with the goal of raising "Champions for Christ." If you do not want to be a "Champion for Christ," nor love Jesus you are going to the wrong school, because this is it's main goal. Furthermore they are attempting to facilitate an environment that will cause this end result. #3 not enough to do: Now I come from Chicago a city where there are endless possibilities, but yet there are people who hate our town and say there is nothing to do there either. Though there are not a that many venues, a normal person with a good personality can find something to do to entertain their self.

I have had no problems and would never want to go to any other university on the planet. In terms of apologetics, religion, bible, and law, debate, and worship Liberty is getting exceptional recognition. In addition I feel it to be of importance to say that we have beat Harvard's debate team in the past and are making huge academic strides. In Terms of athletics Liberty has like the best in the region and the games are attended by many students. well not the ladies BB or hockey, but most sports. I love LU .

I do have to say that I wish there were stricter and tougher academic standards for admissions, but this is starting to finally come into fruition. In addition Liberty has put up a lot more dorms and they are larger then many of the other college dorms I have visited friends in. In addition there are different housing options that give you the some choice in what type of housing you can stay at.

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!!
