***UPDATE*** I believe there are signs that you are making a…read moreterrible mistake and I decided to see all of the signs. (1) Lack of communication (calls and emails) after being accepted into the university is NOT a good sign. (1a) Questions not being answered or not being answered CLEARLY is NOT a good sign. (1b) Being told they will call you right back and then not hearing from anyone for over a week is NOT a good sign. (2) I heard from a student who is soon to graduate and they reported struggling to pass classes because they can't keep professors is NOT a good sign. (2a) This student reported difficulty getting information to initiate the graduation process...Also NOT a good sign. No thank you. I will be looking elsewhere for continued/higher education.

He's a Physician's Assistant and attended the U of L entirely online for the last year, finally graduating. The campus is beautiful with lots of open space, several modern buildings and a lovely student center. The campus bookstore is a little small but still had the tshirts and decals needed to show that he attended the school. Graduation was on the huge Shallenburger Field with proper social distancing enforced and plenty of space between parties. A little warm in the Sun so they had EMS available in case someone had a medical issue plus tents with cold water and plenty of shade. They did a great job of ensuring one-way traffic. We found a couple of great spots for photos and he's thinking that attending in person instead of online would have been awesome. [Review 15070 overall, 572 of 2021, number 1288 in Virginia.]

I have never had such an attentive, caring human being discuss with me in detail for over 45 minutes all the concerns I had to finish my degree in Mental Health Counseling here at Liberty. He lifted a huge weight today off of me and made my whole completion plan clear as day, all the while I felt genuine enthusiasm and desire from him for me to succeed on this path. I have never been so encouraged and supported by someone I didn't even know. His work with Liberty is truly his passion and his desire for excellence is genuine and palpable with the students he is helping. I've gotten a second wind from him and a reaffirmation of my passion to complete my mental health counseling degree and to help others the way he helped me. He truly is a gem of a human being and has kept me a lifelong Liberty student through his service, attention to detail and his care. You have a very talented and exceptional individual in your midst and he is a treasure.

I enrolled in Liberty University's DBA program about three years ago after reading that students do…read morenot have to be Christian to attend. While that may be true, I found that nearly every course incorporated biblical studies and Christian perspectives into the curriculum. As someone who practices Buddhism and had no knowledge of Christianity, I found it difficult to relate to the course content and meet those expectations. After careful consideration, I decided to withdraw from the program because it was not the right academic fit for me. This was a personal decision based on my background and learning preferences, not on the quality of the university itself. I believe Liberty University is an excellent choice for students who are Christian or who are comfortable with a curriculum that integrates biblical teachings throughout the program. However, prospective students from other faiths or those seeking a secular business education should carefully review the curriculum before enrolling to ensure it aligns with their expectations.

Never before in my life have I been able to find a place that both helps me to grow as an…read moreindividual and completely accepts the individual that I am, no matter where I am in the process of that growth. I have personal connections with nearly every one of my faculty members. For example: I took a Marketing course out of curiosity during the fall of my sophomore year. To this day, as a rising senior, that professor (who teaches only one or two night courses for the College) periodically emails to check in with me and to keep me aware of various jobs/internships that may be available to me - and that's not even the field in which I've chosen to major! The friendships that I have fostered here at Sweet Briar are some of the nearest and dearest I have ever experienced. While many of my friends graduated with the class of 2015, I have no doubt that we will remain close, despite between states apart. There are so many opportunities to create meaningful relationships, be it on your dorm hall, in a class, on a team, onstage, or in any number of our myriad of available clubs and activity groups. I have been a Student Admissions Ambassador since the spring of my first-year and I have never once felt phony or cliche when showing off our beautiful campus to visitors. I am not one to stomach "BS" and would certainly never stand for speaking it on my tours. Just goes to show that all the love and positivity is 100% real. As someone who initially visited SBC to prove that it was NOT what I wanted, I ask potential Vixens to put aside any preconceived notions you may have about Sweet Briar or women's colleges in general. I know that SBC tends to be thought of as tons of rich, white, Lilly Pulitzer-wearing, equestrians. I will not lie and say that there is not a portion of our student body that fits this description. But I will also honestly and passionately inform you that not every Sweet Briar woman falls into this type. I have friends who are terrified of horses, who are the first in their families to attend college, who rock Goth chic on a steamy August day at noon. We all come from different backgrounds, have different goals, and different interests. But one thing unifies us above all else: We are Sweet Briar women who fought to save our school and who sure as else are ready to take on the world.

This is one of the two universities you need to tour if you're in the Lexington area. (The other…read moreone is VMI, and it's right next door.) Washington and Lee University is a historic campus, and it's worth a visit if you're into southern history. Washington and Lee was founded in 1749 and named after George Washington and Robert E. Lee. At this liberal arts school, you'll want to check out the University Chapel & Museum, where you'll see the 500 seat chapel, the Lee family mausoleum, and Lee's office when he was president of the university from 1865 to 1870. Also check out the Reeves Museum of Ceramics, which houses the 4th largest collection of ceramics in the U.S. I love walking around university campuses when I'm in a new area, and I'm glad I explored this one.

It's original buildings were designated National Historical Landmarks in the 1930s and Lee Chapel is the resting place of Robert E. Lee who is entombed within. This university is immaculately kept, with expansion of any kind thoughtfully completed in order to seamlessly blend in with the historical feel. I spent a summer here at a program during high school 20 years ago and absolutely loved it. It's small and cozy and home-y and the small town of Lexington has plenty of shops and restaurants within a 5 minute walk of the school. Visiting this summer I easily found my way around like old times, after 20 years not much has changed. It's still beautiful, I saw a few updates, but essentially felt like I had stepped back in time.
