I
have attended Liberty both as an online student and as
a residential student, and have enjoyed both. The University is
true to its standards- if you are a sold out
Christian believer who is concerned with excellence in worship and
quality education, then the University is a great choice for
you. The University expects you to act like an adult-
not a high school student with harder course work. Because
of the attendance policy, you are expected to attend class
daily- just as you will be expected to show up
to work on time everyday as an adult. Because of
the dress code, you are expected to be modest, classy,
and presentable- just as will be expected of you in
the workplace as an adult. I am someone concerned with
personal style, and not once did I feel like I
had to dress like a shrub to fit the dress
code. Trust me, it's annoying to those of us who
take the time to present ourselves well and as adults
to see girls walking around campusses in leggings, tight t-shirts,
and uggs. The University has rules about physical touch on
campus, so people worry that they won't be able to
conduct relationships with other students. Not true. Again, this has
to do with where you are in your faith. My
husband and I had never slept with each other before
marriage. This is a standard of Christianity that the University
holds itself to. You can't kiss on campus, but the
Universitry could not be more pro-relationship. Plus, who wants to
walk around campus seeing couples making out everywhere? The University
expects you to keep a clean dorm- and they check
it- just as you, in order to be respectful to
your spouse, will have to clean up after yourself in
your home. All of the rules the University puts on
its students benefit them for their lives in the future.
Also, the accademics are challenging. As someone with a 4.0
gpa and an honors student, I was challenged in my
courses. The professors are relational, helpful, and are strong Christians.
They pray with you, encourage you, and ask you to
encourage them, but they definitely challenge you. The course work
is extensive and difficult, but isn't just busy work- it's
actually helpful to your education. It's also great that the
University requires all students to take certain courses like Old
and New Testament, Theology, and courses on how Christianity relates
to different religions. As students who will be entering the
work force as sold out Christian believers, having those tools
under our belts is extremely helpful to get you started
on the right track in the work place. Student activities
is great about bringing some awesome things to the University
for students to do- and if you have any ounce
of creativity, you won't be bored- especially if you spend
time studying. Campus transportation is great, and since LU has
one huge accademic building where most classes are held, there's
not too much stress put on you about getting to
your next class on time. Trust me, having a car
is great when you want to get off campus, but
you don't need one to attend school and get to
where you need to go. Convo is great, some really
awesome speakers including presidential candidates, top-rated buisness owners, famed pastors,
artists, and military veterans speak reguarly. Not to mention the
music is good. As far as personal spiritual growth is
concerned- you have to WORK at Liberty not to grow
spiritually. You are required to go to prayer groups and
fellowship with Prayer Leaders, Spiritual Life Directors, and mature Christian
RA's and RD's. Personal bible study is encouraged, and as
a side note- Worship Majors are required to attend some
kind of church each week. Having said all of
this, the basically any of the “registration” stuff is a
nightmare. Housing, finantial checkin, and online registrations are all huge
headaches. Getting people on the phone is pretty bad, and
you normally have to hold for 30 minutes to an
hour. With all of this said, I would encourage
anyone of strong faith who wants to make a difference
in a working environment towards a Christian worldview to attend
Liberty. I've been challenged, grown in my faith, faced my
share of typical university-headaches, made great friends, and feel prepared
for my job because of LU.

Responses Is it true that 'Christian' at LU means evangelicals (specifically Baptist evangelicals) ONLY, excluding Catholics, mainstream Protestants, Orthodox etc.? |
