Liberty University Campus Reviews

"Beware! If you are thinking of attending this school just to see what it is like - - DON'T!! They MAKE you take bible classes that WILL NOT transfer to other colleges - that is how they get you to stay...you pay for all these credits that are mandatory to get your degree, but if you decide to transfer to a different school, more than likely BIBLE will not transfer! ALSO, if you choose not to return, they keep adding up charges that you have no idea why and take the money from you! They have your credit card for deposits, etc., but they make up charges in order for you to get out and put in on your card! They tell you that they will investigate it, but believe me - by the time you call them again to see what they are doing about it, there is another charge for something else that is crazy!! Like, they charge you for the dining and you aren't even there! It's like, "pay to get in and pay to get out"! Just beware - if you want to go there for bible, that's fine, but don't waste your time and money for anything else unless you REALLY know you are going to stay! PS - they have some REALLY fantastic brand new buildings - - I'm sure the money that they keep taking from me is helping to pay for them as well as everyone else that has dropped money there.Read Less"

"Great school! Large in size but with a family feel, a great experience overall."

"As a pending graduate of their MSN program. I feel that I can submit an honest review of my experience as a student. First of all, online learning is quite different than brick and mortar classroom learning. Many online students are second and third degree students who are adults with jobs and families. Liberty does not differentiate between the 18-21 year old population from the residential day school and the 30-40 & 50 something year olds they teach online. I felt as if I was constantly being dictated to, lead down paths to nowhere and when I attempted to bring these inequities to anyone's attention, I was swiftly reminded about this policy and that policy basically telling me how to properly "act'. I am so frustrated with my entire experience, everytime I sign onto Blackboard I get "knots" in my stomach because I know I'm going to have to wade through some type of aggrivation about something. I just want to be done and run as far away as possible. Their attitude seems to be "this is college...figure it out for yourself". As an adult learner with a busy life...the only thing you want to have to figure out is what you are supposed to be LEARNING. Adults just want and need things fast and uncomplicated....Tell me what you want, tell me where you want me to go and get it, give me the proper information and hyperlinks and let me do my job. PERIOD. Not with Liberty University. I am constantly struggling with wrong information, websites and communication that is down, confusing, missing or incorrect/outdated instruction or information and when you report the problems, it's like YOU are the one with the problem not THEM. If I had sent this email to liberty, I would be getting a letter reminding me of the honor policy regarding capitol lettering in e-mails. They would say I am yelling at them..........And I still wouldn't get my problem soved any easier or quicker. I received my BSN from a Christian School named EASTERN UNIVERSITY. is was a blended classroom and online program. They set the bar incredibly high regarding help, consideration and respect to students of ALL ages.......I expected so much more from Liberty, so much more.........I'm really disappointed. I would never consider taking a theology class from them. EVER. Sometimes I feel as if they are so focused on intergrating Christian Theology with my nursing practise that I am missing valuable concepts and information regarding how to become an effective TEACHER. Someone I respect once asked me..."Don't you know about this and that and thus and such....what are you learning in that school you are going to?" I was very much embarassed and had to literally find a way to teach myself valuable information I was missng relating to my profession. I think if you are a residential student you would probably have an extraordinary experience at Liberty. I think you could find better online programs however.....I sure do pray you don't have the same experience I did.Read Less"

"As someone who works full time and is pursuing my masters degree, I am extremely grateful for Liberty University's History Graduate program. The professors are amazing and truly invest in you as a student. The smallness of the residential program allows the students to form a close bond."

"I feel that Liberty University has a wonderful Marriage and Family Therapy Program. The education being provided to me will allow me to impact and change the lives of my future clients. I am grateful to the faculty of Liberty University, and have loved my graduate school experience so far."

"I am a recent graduate of the human services program with a health and wellness specialty. I truly enjoyed my time there at Liberty because of the subject matter that further my learning in nursing and population health. There are negatives as with any school (e.g professors that do not respond on time). Overall, the experience was Christ-centered and with that I can express myself as a Christian without having to defend myself against atheist professors."

"I feel the pros of Liberty are the atmosphere, and the professors. What is important to know is taught, and students are challenged to work. The con is the school is not yet accredited, but is in the process."

"It will be a lot of hard work, but it will pay out in the end in the reward I will gain."

"The pros of this graduate program is that the faculty, staff, facility, and education value are very high. The cons are that it hasn't proven itself as a medical school yet, b/c there hasn't been a graduating class (b/c it's a new school)."

"The flexibility of going back to school online is a real plus for a full time mom, employee, wife, and now graduate student. The program allows me to complete the work on my schedule. As with anyone in a graduate program, balancing school work, kids, life, and employment is tough but Liberty offers strong faculty support to help their students be successful."

"There are some great changes that have taken place recently in my program. The professors are all very approachable and are interested in helping the student understand the material in a way that makes it applicable to real life. The university is interested in developing the whole person and preparing us for the real world."

"Tell us about your college experience.I started taking online courses and at first I loved it. The first course and professor was amazing. The second course was so boring that I thought I would die. There is no interaction with your classmates at all. Everything is done via e-mail and that's it. I thought we would have some type of interaction online but no. And, I knew going into it that Liberty is a Christian school but they take it to the extreme. The last class I was taking was psychology. We were told "if you can;t find it in the Bible it didn;t happen." What? Wait. There's research to show it's. I couldn't be onboard with that. I am now looking for a new school.Read Less"

"One of the main pros of the Public Health program is that every professor has hands-on experience in the field and, also, is extremely helpful. One con is that it is new so the group in the program now are all guinea pigs. This is also a pro because we are helping to develop a better program. Other pros are that we have a practicum that garners students hands-on experience; we not only have papers and tests but are continuously given opportunities on campus and within the community to help the public health issues; and one is also given online class options in case his or her schedule doesn't fit the residential classes.Read Less"

"Liberty University offers a competitive academic program in history that prepares its students for doctoral work. However, this degree does not provide the best launch pad for getting into doctoral programs. It is excellent for learning American History particularly the American Revolution. Yet, if you hope to study any other part of American history or other history (European or World) they simply do not have the faculty to credibly teach those subjects for graduate work."

"Liberty University is a very unique school. As I reached the end of my undergraduate career, it was one of the hardest things to do to leave that gorgeous campus. I love the faculty's availability for tutoring and efficient teaching methods as well as the loving atmosphere. It is my hope to return there for my graduate career."
