Experience Liberty University
Choosing a college is a big decision — one that you won’t make without doing your research, talking to people you trust, and visiting the campuses you’re considering. Many schools fit their university experience into a short presentation, tour, and Q & A.
While short-and-sweet campus tours are convenient, do you really want to commit the next 4 years of your life after just a 4-hour visit (or less)?
At Liberty University’s College For A Weekend, you can spend 3 days test-driving life as an LU student, exploring our more than 7,000-acre campus, and getting all your college questions answered. You’re anything but a typical student, so CFAW is anything but a typical college tour. Design your perfect college visit at Liberty University. Endless possibilities — all in one place.

Make the Most of Your College Search
The countdown to college has begun. You’ve spent years investing in your child, and this is their first big decision. They’re smart, independent, and capable, but family time is becoming more precious, and the college search is a journey you want to take together.
