Liberty University is a poor quality university. It looks good from the outside with easy admission and a lot of programs. However, that is to hook students for tuition. The university can offer so many programs because it uses poor quality instructors that teach as a side job. They figure that just because someone has a PhD they can teach and that is not true. Some instructors are outright unprofessional and it is obvious they are not taking the time needed to grade assignments since this is a side job for them. Such a poor institution and I am glad I left.

I contacted Liberty right away and explained to them the above issue, they told me that someone would be in contact with me, it's been already over 2 weeks and no one has helped me, and no one has contacted me. Again and again they told me that someone will contact me but no one is helping. They say that there's no supervisor to talk with and that i need to wait longer. I've spent over $2,000 of my own money on the cost of attendance, and I was promised that the cost of attendance of $722 would go into my bank account on the 25th of January, but no money was transferred into my bank account even until today, February 10. So, I contacted Liberty and explained to them that I had spent $2,000 on the cost of attendance and needed the $722 that they promised would go into my bank account. They told me that they took the money for themselves instead. The amount of stress and pain that Liberty is causing me is unbearable.

If you’re a veteran, you need to take your GI bill and get away from this predatory company. You will learn more from YouTube. I’ve never once received any worthwhile engagement from any of the “professors” online. It is fun to talk to an advisor about degree potentials but you must remember, that excitement wears off quick. Once you’re in the door and they have your money, you are dead to them. Don’t let them steal what you earned. Also, in the professional world a Liberty university degree is a micro step up from something like Phoenix Online. Go get a state university degree and avoid being laughed out of the interview (and also gain some knowledge).

When I say ridiculous. I mean ridiculous decision. No one advise anything, they're there to collect. They refuse to help you with choosing the right class. They're too busy trying to get you to enter a class And not transfer any of your prior credit classes to avoid losing $$$. Telling you your not obligated to take a certain course to only try to pressure you to take it anyway. Again $$. Your a non-factor until your not a student. Then harassment calls after you exit. The technical supporter is rude and lazy so if you need help with a curriculum that isnt loading you take the chance to fail bc of they're issues. . The way the last instructor critique allowing me to go through the entire semester to fail me constantly making a big deal about essay guidelines after completing several 800 word essays it was never good enough. oh, and bible scriptures at the end of each essay mandatory. I gave her a piece of my mind before dropping out. The fact she knew she was going to fail me having me complete massive assignments was absurd. She teaches psych. Quantitative/Qualitative research if you see her run. Do your home work on these universities before enrolling. Their full of it.

Good luck getting off their call list, this is borderline harassment. I've tried calling to get them to stop calling, I've tried blocking the number, still get 16 phone calls a week.

Their "School of Aeronautics" has no respect for the residents of Farmville, a small town an hour from their campus. They use our small airport (despite having their own airport in Lynchburg) for training purposes and fly extremely low, over and over, above homes and businesses (even within the town limits). At peak times, there can be 20 plus planes per day doing this, as early as 7 am and as late as 10 pm. Attempts to contact them about this have been disregarded.

Everything was going fine for the criminal justice doctoral program (started Jan. 2021) until the dissertation phase with the committee. What was initially advertised as having great jobs with higher pay and a completion time of about 2.5 to 3 years with a cost of less than $41k total tuition resulted in over 5 years and six figures of debt with no ROI. They forced me to repeat the same dissertation courses for over 2 years to rack up costs, denied all complaints, and committee change requests. Further, years of lost wages and opportunities that could've been pursued instead of doing this program. The committee didn't even read my manuscript but was giving feedback on things that resulted in further delays and frustrations. Lost countless grant scholarship opportunities as well due to lacking research advisors and competent people.

I found out quickly that the school was not based on these basic principles, but expects their students to fully buy in, boarding on indoctrination. None of this is upfront or clear to applicants before or during the application process. It is entirely concealed until financial commitment is finalized. As I had not engaged in any of the courses (I hadn't completed any assignments and hadn't had any interaction with the professors) and having it never been clear how engrained religion would be in the curriculum, I deciding to withdraw and requested a refund for my first semester payment. Despite this, the university refused to refund me in will. Instead, they kept 25% of my tuition payment. That's a very significant amount of money for an underpaid teacher. A total money grab in my opinion, and incredibly UN-Christian in my.
