Liberty University

I am currently atending online courses at Liberty University for Web Development. I am a undergraduate and hoping to gain a certification. The program has 6 classes. The first 2 classes were great because I took only 1 per term. It is more expensive to do that and not considered full time. If you take 2 classes per term you are considered full time and it is less expensive.

Last term I took 2 classes at once because I want to just finish so that I can start earning money. I got the flu and had to drop one class because the work load was so heavy. So I dropped Java and completed HTML with a B for a final grade. I am now taking 2 courses this term, PHP and E-Commerce. The work load is tremendous. On top of that I get a damn 25 out of 50 on a stupid discussion board. Every grade I get from this professor is horrible and I work my ass off for it. When I turn my assignment in the website pages work fine but I still get bumped for it. I will probably barely end up passing this course if I pass. If you cannot handle devoting at least 40 hours a week for each online class at Liberty then DO NOT TAKE IT!

I have had a couple of really great professors there that were really helpful and I appreciate them. But, my overall experience of gaining the knowledge you need to be successful at what you do it is not the place to go.

Now, I am in debt with student loan and feel like I've been on a hamster wheel during each class so have not retained the knowledge I would like to. I am not new to college and have an associates degree from years back. If you really want to get a degree my advice would be to attend a local college where you can actually sit in the classroom and talk to someone if you need help or have questions.I very much believe in God even though I said a couple of curse words. Believe me, God would probably say a few too. I am thankful that I gained some knowledge but after this term that's it for me with any college. All they want is your money and don't really care for you as a student. Really sad too. You can get online certificates for 95 dollars at w3schools.com and learn as much or more than you do at liberty. Or, go to Barnes and Noble and grab a book on the subject and teach yourself. That is the same that your doing taking online classes. At least at Liberty that's all your doing.

This shool is full of raging, mad, uptight, get in your face about jesus, jesus debaters, tattletailing, had no fun in highschool so ill bring that to liberty and debate you on calvinism on a friday night weirdos, and quite frankly it sucks. RA are really just guys who are uptight and cant enjoy life without giving someone reps for hair. the rules here are close to a concentration camp, everyone sneeks out, sneeking out in college, yeah it is more strict than highschool. Ra have no respect for human feeling they just follow the rules down to a nitty gritty and if they dont so help me God an RD will say they are doing bad and write them a nasty note telling them how angry they are. Everyone loves to go to church it is almost like they get horny for church. convo three times a week, basically convo is brainwash time in the fact that my views have to align with falwell or hindson and if they dont i am going strait to hell. gned is a college class in which i am ashamed to call a college class. the teachers brainwash everyone into questioning every decision
