Open Quote I'm currently attending this school, the teachers are wonderful, however the environment is unwelcoming to non-traditional/non-religious students. I feel that I cannot be myself around others here. The curriculum is great but there is too much pressure to get good grades due to over-achievers and expectation. Close Quote

Open Quote I attended this school and now I'm having an excellent college experience at The Johns Hopkins University mainly due to the skills acquired at Liberty. This is a superb institution. Close Quote
