<p>^Liberty has good advertising, which sucks all the more faithful baptist high school students in…I’ve heard their “college for a weekend” scheme is way better than actual college life. </p>
<p>Add this to their ridiculously high acceptance rate and you have a typical advertising trap that lures in innocent people…</p>
<p>The place actually scares me a little.</p>
<p>Do they accept anyone who is Baptist? Can you imagine a Jew going there, lol. I don’t think that they would feel too welcoming. But I’ve heard of proffersors who teach at Catholic Universities and are not Catholic.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not even sure that I understand what that means, but if what I suspect is true, then your conclusion doesn’t make any sense.</p>
<p>I’d never go to a school where:
Grads >=undergrads
Professors who do not teach undergrads</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>^^They accept anyone basically…they ask you a few questions…the typical “have you ever consumed alcohol, been convicted of a crime, done drugs?”</p>
<p>At least, this is what they asked my friend who wants to go there…</p>
<p>Your friend wants to go there? LOL. What’s his reasons? I’m very curious to know what drives people to this place. How are the academics in the classroom?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>1) National Champs; no, it doesn’t.
3) Bandwagon fans? Nah, that’s BC. BU fans just dont show up in numbers like NEU does. I give the Dog House credit, because they always do a great job. Too bad this was the first year the team was decent.</p>
<p>Anyway, my list:</p>
<p>BC
Northeasern
Drexel
St. Joe’s
Villanova
Notre Dame
FSU
Duke (UNC is better, and Duke fans are arrogant, which is funny considering they never win a thing)
Penn State
Syracuse
Miami (FL)
GA Tech
WVU
Rutgers
NYU
Emory
Purdue
WashU
Hofstra
GW
American
CalTech
Cal Berkeley
Lehigh
Lafayette
LSU
Ole Miss
MIT
University of Chicago
Hopkins
Carnegie Mellon
Tufts
Brandeis
Rochester
Case Western
RPI
Yeshiva U
RIT WPI
UDel</p>
<p>Any affiliated school
Any LAC other than Davidson
All Ivies other than Penn
Any school in NY
Any school in CA other than UCLA and Stanford</p>
<p>I’m really surprised my school hasn’t been mentioned yet, considering it’s in ‘the ghetto’ ZOMG!</p>
<p>That’s a lot of specified dislike, diontech.</p>
<p>That’s actually a pretty abbreviated list for me.</p>
<p>^ Technically UCLA is affiliated with the University of California.</p>
<p>Try rereading my post…</p>
<p>
I can’t really figure out the unifying factor here. I guess I figure when you’re cutting out so many schools, there have to be blanket reasons, otherwise, that’s a lot of schools to hate on.</p>
<p>Personal reasons, overly academic atmospheres, and lack of Division I sports.</p>
<p>If you say so…</p>
<p>@early_college: She wants to go because it’s a “Christian School.” That’s it. She’s Baptist, she’s gone to “college for a weekend”, its easy as hell to get into, and she thinks it’s perfect. </p>
<p>In reality, I know she knows nothing about Liberty. She doesn’t know the mass number of students that go there, the quality of their academics (generally rather poor), she doesn’t know that 45% of their students take 6 years to graduate.</p>
<p>She doesn’t know about their endless list of “reprimands” and fines nor that they restrict every privilege of your private life (including and especially romantic relationships, of which she has had for 2.5 years) and that tons of students lose their faith because the school is so ludicrous.</p>
<p>She doesn’t know, and she’s been so *****y about the whole college topic that I’m not going to tell her. Call me a bad friend. But I’ve known this girl since preschool, and never has she ever learned anything other than the hard way. </p>
<p>If I tried to tell her these things about Liberty, she’d call me stupid and pitch a fit. So I’m not going to. Disservice to our “friendship” or not, I’m not one who knowingly propels myself into an impossible situation. And her attitude is one of those situations.</p>
<p>If this was me, and if I was a devout Christian, I would still toss Liberty from my list. I’ve done my research (though I never intended on adding it to my list; I researched it to learn of its true reputation after hearing some rumors), and Liberty is a college I will definitely do my best to stay away from. I respect all forms of religion, from Christianity to Islam, but I do not respect close-mindedness in any form. </p>
<p>And from all I have gathered about Liberty, that’s all that exists there.</p>
<p>Again, no offense to any students of Liberty or other Christians, but I just can’t respect an institution like that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do say so, that’s why I said it.</p>
<p>I’m Catholic as I said before and wouldn’t want to go to Liberty. I may go to some Catholic schools, but it would be weird going to a school outside your religion. I think she (your friend) may want to read these boards, lol. Is she at least applying any where else?</p>
<p>how similar are Liberty and BYU?</p>
<p>^^At this point? Nope. Liberty acceptance is basically guaranteed, so… >></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Diontechristmas, you are officially the man.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s a shame to waste your college education. Poor girl.</p>
