What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Brett

I wish i had known how hard schoolwork was in college in general. i took a year off of school right out of high school and when i finaly went to college i had a hard time getting used to the work load.

Brett

How hard the classwork would be and how hard it would be to get back into the swing of school after taking a year off of school right after high school.

Bethany

The only thing that I really would have liked to know was that all students are required to do community service each semester. Twenty hours is a lot when you carry a full load academically and two jobs.

Katelyn

Before I went to Liberty I knew that it was going to be different, but I could never have imagined how many new things I would experiance. Many new meetings were required and I wish I had known how often I would be hanging out with people simply having fun.

Samuel

I really wish I had known it is a christian school. It's the largest evangelical school in the world and it's cheap compared to other private schools.

Katie

I wish that I had known the emphasis placed on dating relationships here. There is much pressure placed on students to find their mate while they are here. Had I known that before attending, I would have been able to better prepare for all of the attention given to it.

Robbie

God and the sense of self and direction that possess now that was not present in my youth!

DAVID

Kelsey

Regardless of the convenience of online education - the lack of real-life experience really does not make it worth it. In most of my classes I am surrounded with people overseas in the Armed Forces or twice my age and families to concern themselves with. All of that is great, but due to my obvious differences one misses out on building relationships with peers. Also, the benefits of in-class discussion vanish. The anecdotes that professors will share or the debates students will get into provide an environment that cannot be reproduced online, even with mandated discussions.

Matthew

The only thing I can think of is the amount of studying I would get. As an online student I do have alot of "home"work but I enjoy the progress I have made. I pretty much knew everything I needed or wanted to know.
