Level with me: how bad is Liberty University?

[Znow]

You guys are having a Liberty discussion without me? That’s where I went. Yup, this thread looks typical. I’ll start by saying if you’re questioning anything before you do it, it’s probably not for you. Don’t go to Liberty if you’ll resent it later. There’s a certain state school I wouldn’t go to even if my tuition was covered, and that’s fine. There’s a school out there for almost everyone. I enjoyed my time at Liberty and I thought it was more challenging than LSU, where my MBA journey started. Liberty’s instructors were great, and they grade papers very fast. I also liked that it wasn’t a teacher assistant grading my work. The assigned readings each week are a bit excessive, and they still recommended supplemental materials for those who want to torture themselves.

There was one course I had where there wasn’t biblical integration required, but pretty much every course includes it. It’s not in the courses material, it gets included in assignments. For example, discussion boards usually require five peer-reviewed sources and a verse from scripture to support your point.

I’ll also add that hardly anyone knows about Liberty at the state college I work at. The only people who knew about Liberty were guys following college sports because their football team is really good and their basketball team is decent, so they get some airtime on ESPN and Fox. Everyone else would ask me “what’s Liberty” and I just tell them “a private Christian school in Virginia” and then it’s back to work. Not everyone is hyper focused on where people went to school. They most likely care about where you’ve worked. But for those who are, I’m glad I went to Liberty as they’re in the US, ACBSP accredited, are R3 Carnegie Classified, and is actually in the college football video game instead of operating out of a strip mall.
