Liberty University Top Questions

Having completed three and a half years at Liberty University many lessons have been learned. The most valuable lesson that I have learned is to complete all tasks with excellence. Whether writing a paper or setting up chairs for an assembly, all tasks should be completed with excellence. Dedicated faculty coupled with an outstanding academic program has provided the opportunity for me to learn to complete all tasks with excellence while avoiding the acquisition of minimalistic behaviors and tendencies. As the largest and fastest growing Christian Evangelical University, it would expectedly be easy for students to slip through the cracks of the everyday happenings at Liberty. However, at Liberty which I have encountered enables each student to have a place in their class, a role to fill and a purpose to complete. Each faculty member provides means for involvement in student lives by taking an active interest in their students when permitted. I have learned not only cognitive knowledge but skills vital to achieving success in daily life and it is for this reason that Liberty University should be the top choice in which to pursue higher education.

I have learned so much in just my first semester. It has been important for me to feel at home since it was my first time away from home for a long period of time and Liberty has been so much like home. I went into my first semester not knowing what I wanted to do with my life but Liberty has given me the opportunity to find out about all kinds of majors and I have decided to become a teacher and I attribute that to Liberty.

College experience for me has been one of the best experiences in my life. I was born in East Africa, Tanzania. I never knew that i will ever live in United States. I come from poor family thinking i will never attend any college or university and live in United States. I have been in United States for ten years now and all these years i just been working, i got married last year and my wife made me go back to school as i graduated from my high school in Africa. I have a GPA of 3.76 and plan to continue till i finish my degree in nursing. It is in deed a dream come true living an American dream. My mother in law too is a nurse too and i learn a lot from her too, so learning is a big part of my life. Next semester i am going to volunteer to teach math to middle school students who need help in math. Going to college make me realize how school is important for best future, because i don't want to be working in fastfood and restaurants forever.

I have enjoyed my first semester at Liberty University. I left my small town in Pennsylvania and arrived in Lynchburg knowing absolutely no one. Within the first week of my arrival, I made so many good friends. People seem very interested in getting to know others, making you feel apart of the school, and just willing to let you into their world. Being a freshman, I wasn't sure of what to expect. I made my schedule with the help of an advisor, and hoped for the best. We did a great job! I loved my classes, loved my professors, and my classmates. The topics were interesting, but most intriging was other classmates perspectives. Not all of us agree on every issue, but we can appreciate others point of view. I have learned so much educationally, but even more so about myself. Am I willing to let others get to know the real me? Am I willing to get to know others? Theses are the questions that only can be answered by attending college. I am very excited about returning to Liberty after the Holidays. Thank you for your attention.

I most appreciate my college experience for providing a chance to learn about who I am and where I can best serve my community. Not only did I learn about myself and my interest in serving others through the psychology realm, but I met and married my wife. I made lifelong friendships, learned lifelong lessons, and married my lifelong love.

I've gotten so much out of it! Since I go to a christian school, my religion is a big part of my life! My spiritual life has grown tremendously because of attending Liberty. Academically i've grown a lot too because i'm doing a lot better in school and I finally realize how important having an education is. I believe attending college is a big growing experience. You are on your own for the first time and can't just have your parents fix everything all the time. You have to be responsible and be able to choose for yourself if you are going to hang out with friends the night before a test or just stay in and study. I went to a school 7 hours away from home and i've lived in the same city my entire life so it was definitely a big change but it made me grow up a lot. College changed me as a person and I believe it changed me for the better. I'm so happy I made the decision to go to college even though money is tight.

I love going to college. I am learning new skills which I will be able to use to find a job. I am going to school for an Associates in Graphic Arts. I should get my Associates in 2012 and I am considering continuing for a Bachelors Degree afterwards. Computer Science is challenging and fun and I enjoy every minute of it.

Attending Liberty University has been one of the best choices I have ever made. I have made some life long friends, who, I know, will always be there. The classes that I have taken have taught me a lot, and has helped me to apply the things that I learned to everyday life. I am constantly surrounded by encouraging people. I would never trade going to Liberty University for anything in the world. This has been one amazing, life changing experience!!

The college experience of this last year has challenged me to be a better person and to want to make those around me better as well. I have realized that life isn't all about me and my plans and agendas. There's a bigger picture. And as I live in a dorm and interact with fellow students around campus, I'm seeing glimpses of that picture. True, I am here for my education but what is it for? Ultimately, it is to achieve the goal of a degree that will enable me to go out and serve the world in a capacity that will impact the way they live. And I have realized that it has been immeasurably valuable for me to attend the university where I am in order to gain the tools and skills I need to interact and effectively communicate with others. It is so important for me to put forth my best effort in my classes so that my education is well-rounded and so that I am fully equipped to accomplish the tasks I am asked to do in the future.

My experience at Liberty University has greatly increased my knowlege not only about nursing (my pursued career) but about my Savior, Jesus Christ. I have had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world; therefore, increasing my knowlege about different cultures. I am currently in my Junior year of the nursing program and this year, by far, has been my hardest year academically. There have been weeks when I was completely stressed out and just wanted to give up, but by God's grace I have been able to continue. This has reminded me about how there will be difficult times in life, and it has helped to shape me into the future nurse that I will be. Through my classes and clinical experiences I have learned so much about critical thinking, thinking in an applicable way, and studying to learn and not regurgitate for an exam. Not only have I been challenged academically, but I have also been challenged to be involved with my local church. My involvment at church has helped me to learn more about Christ and have an opportunity to meet people of all ages.
