What Parents Are Saying
What It’s Like To Visit Liberty
“We returned home a few hours ago to Eastern N.C. after attending Experience LU on Friday. Since attending, I have to admit that our family can’t stop talking about Liberty University. I’m not just talking about my senior who hopes to attend next year; I am talking about his two brothers and us, his parents.
The way the day went — from the welcome to the tour, the food, and the detailed information, the discussions from departments to Dr. Wheeler’s inspirational session and our one-on-one with an admissions counselor — was all well-planned and well-executed. And while not officially part of the day, we stayed for the hockey game, which just added another layer to the experience!
What is the most amazing is that our 9-year-old was asking questions about his future (says he wants to be a lawyer and even took a poster to hang up in his room), and our 14-year-old high school freshman — who had sworn off college for possibly trade school — was so impressed, he is thinking about college now and asked us to buy a Liberty University jacket while we were at the bookstore. You don’t know what this means to us as parents. Praise God for what you have done! Thank you for such a great event and for what you do! Now, to finish the application process and hope we can become part of the Flames community!”
