  • I love Liberty University and I am proud to be an alumni of 2015.

    Overall Score: (5/5.00)
  • Awful, just awful. Chose the school because of it’s Christian affiliation, and now don’t believe it’s there much at all. Admissions lied to me which caused me issues down the road. Student advisor zero help. Finally spent an hour on the phone with a ” company man” who would’t even hear of the possibility they were wrong. Male instructors are awful to females; I mean like treated me like garbage while the female instructors were praising my work? No continuity with APA; what’s fine with one is not fine with another. In the online courses you are just an email address. Very hard to communicate this way, especially when you have a question. I am disgusted and regret completely my decision to attend here…like will not even but a bumper sticker and want to remove affiliation from my LinkedIn, ya that bad. But, I have one semester so I such it up and pay for nothing because I haven’t learned a thing other than this place is awful.. Mind you…I am usually the person who only calls in with compliments. Let that brew for a minute. Please do your research before attending as see on here many other have had the same experience.
    In all fairness, this site required me to check all stars and as an online student I truly couldn’t rate some but was forced to.

  • I was told by a youth pastor not to go to this university. I see why now. I feel stuck due to the classes being convenient and being online but religion is in every single class and if your opinion is different do not bother stating it!

    I’m close to a BS degree but I’m seriously thinking about moving to a different college. I’m in my thirties and married with children as well as having a full time job and can say honestly most teachers do not care and are not clear with work. If you plan to become a pastor in the bible belt by all means go to this school but the only thing I have been semi-impressed with is the financial aid department being on top of things.

    Good Luck everyone!

  • This is the worst institution a student can come across. For one , they incorporate religion into every course and I mean EVERY COURSE, when it has nothing to do with the subject matter. It is ridiculous. For me to have to spend an additional half hour to hour FINDING SCRIPTURES to incorporate into EVERY discussion board and every paper is a joke. In fact, it is sending the wrong message to students because this is an EEO violation in the real world. If you do this in the real world, and on a real job, it is an ETHICS PROBLEM. It has discredits this school in my view, being that their focus is minusha that has nothing to do with what you are paying for – an education in BUSINESS is what I want, NOT in Christianity. To add insult to injury, many professors have a dominating attitude and post announcements upfront that their teaching style is “dominant” and they expect grown adults with life experiences – paying for their education to succumb to this superior silliness. Not I. To coincide with this, they post ridiculous deadlines that defeat the entire purpose of online learning, which is supposed to be flexible, allowing GROWN PEOPLE to handle school around their lives. They are SUPPOSED TO post weekly assignments and deadlines, allowing the entire week to get projects completed. Instead, many post weekly assignments with deadlines within the week (this is due Monday, this is due Wednesday, this is due by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, etc.). THIS DOES NOT WORK. They won’t take a late assignment either (though I have waited WEEKS for my grades they seem to get to at their convenience) and as far as I am concerned, assignments completed within the week SHOULD NOT BE MARKED AS LATE. Also, I was told by admissions that they do not assign team projects, which is a lie. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. I have been stiffed in many group assignments that were RIDICULOUS, because you have a 40-year old who works, coupled with a kid in a dorm who has all day to monitor Blackboard for updates, and a 60-year old somewhere else off in the hospital. THIS PHILOSOPHY DOES NOT WORK ONLINE – PERIOD. People live in different time zones, people are on different schedules, people take vacations, THIS DOES NOT WORK. THEY KNOW IT DOESN’T WORK, and it’s a convenient way for these professors to “let the dogs run wild” and kick back even more than they already do (much of nothing because most assignments are auto-graded on the system) and get paid for disengaging themselves from the fiasco(s). They do not help, they do not mediate, they do not care about team-related problems, so you end up with a lower grade if you are the “outcast” AND HAVE A JOB, unable to sit on a email device all day making unnecessary posts to your teammates, as many assign a participation grade, which is insane. I have better things to do than send pointless messages to students I do not know about nothing when I know what my assignment is. I had one professor email me that he can’t keep up with all of his responsibilities at home with his baby and his 2 jobs, then the others pretty much email scripture as they sip drinks on their decks all day doing nothing, PAID BY THE STUDENTS OF LIBERTY UNIVERSITY. There is no way to get help either – you are left alone with a textbook to figure everything out which is hard in some courses like finance and math…..among others. They will not call you or set up any reasonable time to help you with your work..EVERYTHING is solo and online and whatever you don’t get, you don’t and if you fail, so be it. I’ve taken classes I totally did not understand at all and have passed because the assignments are that much of a joke. Everything is open book and you have some professors who make it easy, then others who ask trick questions or questions you can’t flip to the index to find a page # for…so you fail the “open book” tests because questions are NOT in the book.
    I was finally driven off the plank this week when I received an email 3 semesters later from admissions that they still don’t have my official transcripts, when I personally sent them 2 times via USPS, and they have my unofficial transcripts. I had to BEG them to order my transcripts because they placed a hold on my account, preventing me from registering for classes until they are received. Well, it is late for registration as is for the next semester and they do not care. After many email complaints, no one there has yet to offer to lift a finger to get on the phone and order the one transcript they are still waiting on. So, it appears that my time with Liberty is up, because if I do not register for summer courses, I am then in default on my student loan, as I must remain enrolled PT for federal aid. THEY COULD CARE LESS. Rather than be helpful and close the matter out, someone decided to take the time in the admissions office that is, to send me an email that my correspondence has been “ungodly and harsh,” and that “I need to be mindful that they are a religious university and they do not tolerate such emails.” This is after I have WAITED 3 SEMESTERS AS IS – PATIENTLY SO, and I had to take my time to deal with the matter when it should have been dealt with upon enrollment. For as long as it took admissions to send me this ridiculous email (as if I am some child they are scolding) – they could have ordered my transcript and removed the block from my registration, but they continue to choose to be difficult, scolding me in the process as a paying customer as if I have no options. The final kabang with this whole saga is that the one transcript they did enter was entered with NO GRADES. They have my courses transferred over as “P” for “pass” without the grades I received for each, which is most of my GPA. I am not transferring credits over without receiving credit for my hard work – most are A’s and I am supposed to get no credit? CRAZY. According to Liberty University, the only GRADES that matter are the ones from them, which AREN’T GOOD due to the overall b.s. This is unethical and I am complaining. I AM DONE! BUH BYE LIBERTY UNVERSITY – WHAT A TOTAL SCAM AND JOKE OF AN INSTITUTION YOU WANKERS. If you think me INQUIRING ABOUT WHY MY TRANSCRIPTS WERE NEVER ENTERED was “Ungodly,” wait until you read my complaint that I am sending to the Department of Education. JERKS.

  • NOT RECOMMENDED!

    I will be graduating with an Ed. Specialist from here in the Spring. Having attended 4 major universities within my college career, this is by far the worst! They have inconsistent grading policies. For example, they set up a point system for a final grade, then you find out that even though you have achieved enough points to make an “A”, the points are weighted and you actually have a “B”. Assignment expectations are always unclear at best. Instructors are somewhat disinterested in their students and grading is very subjective. The registration process is disorganized and advisors do not know what the class requirements are prior to offering them to students. This resulted in me being forced to take two internship courses, which are more expensive than your general course. The advisor that I spoke with never told me that I was signing up for a practicum course when I was selecting an elective for my last course. I am stuck taking it because add/drop period ends a week before you can view your course information online and therefore I cannot change. This lack of communication and organization is classic Liberty.

    I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

  • If you know your bible like the back of you hand and can easily quote passages in your research paper, as well as thinking only the Falwell way, well, this is the school for you. I have lived in Lynchburg my whole life and received my masters from Liberty because it was convenient for me. I felt the professors were very arrogant because they knew the bible, and during my intensives, felt like I was taking theological classes instead of the class I signed up for. We prayed all the time, and the professors did not like any questions outside of the Liberty belief system about religion. This happened a lot in classes. No higher level thinking outside of the box. On the positive side, all the growth of Liberty has brought a lot of revenue to Lynchburg.

  • Graduated from LU in 2002. Had a great experience at LU — left for one year because I thought it was too strict. However, after “experiencing” a secular university, I knew LU was the right place.

  • Not for someone who wishes to learn critical thinking. If you are NOT into dogma and denying facts or reality find another university. If you want to think scientifically go somewhere else.

  • Liberty is the perfect school for anyone who doesn’t want to be challenged in their beliefs. If someone is set in their ways, and wants to hang around more people like them, go to LU. For someone who even agrees with most of LU’s beliefs, but wants to be challenged by learning about other points of views in a fair way, you won’t find that here.

    The one way that is balanced is the school is growing so fact they have accidentally hired some professors that are great. Ask other students who they have liked, who makes them work, read…is published. I have found, for the most part, that the professors most people don’t like (usually because they rocked a student’s ship a little too much) are the ones I have enjoyed the most.

    There are tons of things to do on campus as far as activities go. LU treats recruitment like a business–the more fun things for students, the higher enrollment will be. Some are concerned academic quality suffers under such a model…but I suppose it depends on what LU’s goal is…numbers or quality. You decide.

    Not many places to spend time with a boyfriend/girlfriend if that is something you want or need. You can venture off campus, but there isn’t too much in Lynchburg outside restaurants.

    Suggestion: Life your first year on campus, then move off. You’ll save money, and have a much different experience being out in the community with real people.
