Liberty University Online Reviews

Liberty Financial Aid department will make you pull your hair out. The dept. is run by students, NOT by trained professionals which means you end up with a whole lot of fingers milling about your account and personal information.

Honestly, I have attended several universities and I actually planned to transfer back to the University Of Alabama but I am mere classes from graduation with my BS in education from Liberty and most schools DO NOT accept Liberty transfer credits.

If you want your degree from Liberty then go for it, just keep an eye on your account and be prepared to spend about 5-10 hours per semester on hold trying to get your accounts fixed because of someone in financial aid touching a button they cant figure out how to fix.

At this point I am honestly considering quitting because I just don't have time for the hassle. The education is mediocre. Its really not difficult. The sociology courses have amazing instructors, most teachers (not all) really care about the students and others are more hung up on themselves and are really interested in your praising their latest book (which will be your mandatory text book). The financial aid department will really ruin the school.

Liberty University has been a great online school and I must say that their online support staff is second to none. I am also a veteran and I have had wonderful dealings with their VA reps as well.

I would recommend this school to anyone looking to learn more about the Bible and enhance their Christian worldview. The quality of the instructors is solid and the level of feedback that I have received has been great on submitted assignments.

The work is challenging, but rewarding to say the least. I have attended other online schools in the past but for me personally none of them have compared to Liberty.

The cost versus the education that you will receive is good, and I have yet to have an issue that hasn't been resolved to my overall satisfaction.

I took several classes with this school and decided it was just not a good fit for me. Everyone is different. I understand this is a christian school but every single class places a high emphasis on biblical studies. While I am aware of its importance, I am not studying to be a minister. So i feel my education was being steered more towards their biblical studies than the actual class. DF had to have biblical references tying into the subject, papers had to have biblical references etc etc. It took me more time researching all this than i did my actual book work!

If this is your interest: I will say.... The school has been great with my financial aid, helping me along to fix any issues. I only had one class where the instructor was hard to contact and assignments were shady (instructions were found on two different areas) and nothing was clear.

I LOVE Liberty University. Yes, it's a Christian school. Yes, they are quite efficient in the way they collect the money one agrees to pay for their product. No, they aren't perfect.

This will be my fourth college degree, my first online. I believe I have enough experience to tell a decent school from a bad one. I am very satisfied with Liberty.

I don't think the quality of the faculty can be questioned. Sure, some are better than others, just like anywhere else. Still, I have had professors who earned their doctorates from places like Oxford University, or were accomplished professionals, such as a former assistant state Attorney General.

I have experienced spiritual growth while at Liberty. Their business acumen is solid, for sure, but so is their spiritual support network.

The one major weakness I see at Liberty is with the "academic advisers" one reaches when calling the school. This really could use improvement, because it is totally hit or miss whether you will get correct information. My recommendation is, when told you cannot take certain courses or receive certain discounts or whatever, simply nod to yourself, say thank you, then hang up and wait a few minutes. Call back. Chances are you will get an adviser that will help you with whatever you're trying to do.

You have to do your part. Classmates and professors are not in the same room with you. However, in this day and age, the very technology that makes online learning even possible also offers instant access to any help any online student could ever need.

Liberty University is a quality institution offering a quality product at minimal cost. They are an excellent value and I recommend them to anyone.

I want to enroll in Liberty University Online, I just haven't completely decided if I should yet, I want to be able to speak with someone to help me out with any questions that I have, but it seems that I do not get emails with information I need in them and when I speak with them on the phone. They seem so quick to get off the phone with me like they haven't the time to answer my questions. They just tell me send in your transcripts and fill out your FAFSA, and that it will take 4 to 6 weeks to get everything going.

I do not want to enroll if the staff isn't going to be their to answer my questions and help me understand them, they will not explain any information to me about how I will access my books, or what is or what is not included into my tuition. Has anyone else ran into this problem. I want to enroll because I am a Christian and want to go to a Christian based college, but not if everyone seems so short to answer my questions and get off the phone with me in a hurry.
