A Freshman's Guide To How To Get Around The Liberty Campus
Liberty University

As a freshman arriving on a quickly-expanding campus, it can be very easy to get lost. Sometimes, it's just overwhelming to be away from home and living in the construction zone that is Liberty University. It's always good to have an idea of what to call everything and how to ask where it is. Just follow this simple guide, and you should be able to get around Liberty's campus fairly easily.

1. North

When arriving on campus, one of the first places a freshman usually wants to know how to get to is Green Hall. If you call it by its name, though, you may get some weird looks. This is because most students don't actually call it by its real name. (Strange, isn't it?) They call it North, or sometimes North Campus. The reason they call it North is quite simply because that's where it would be on a map compared to almost everything else on campus. They even call the bus that goes there the "North Campus" bus. It is one of the most confusing places to get to on campus when you first get here.

2. The Pit

Despite its name, The Pit (located on South Campus) is actually not that bad. It's not some place where Liberty students battle it out for the best grades - we battle it out for parking there. The whole place is a parking lot. It's not the best parking on campus, but it's still parking. That is hard to come by on campus, as even The Pit, the largest parking lot on campus, is usually filled to the brim. That includes cars that are parked in places that aren't actually parking spots.

3. The Rot

"Where can I find the Reber-Thomas Dining Hall?" is undoubtedly the most-asked question by new students at Liberty. Much like Green Hall, the Reber-Thomas Dining Hall is something nobody calls by its real name. We call it The Rot. The food there is actually pretty decent, despite the name. It's also pretty easy to find. Just follow the flow of hungry students that emerge after every class and you should be fine. If you still can't find it, ask. Seriously, that's all there is to it.

4. DeMoss

DeMoss. Even seniors get lost in it. There are still rumors of people disappearing on its fourth floor and never being heard from again. They're not true, of course... Most likely. The best advice for new students (and old ones) is to follow the signs. Really. There are signs that will point you in the general direction of each room number. If you do get lost (and you will), just ask someone for help. Most Liberty students are always willing to help anyone out, even if they themselves may end up being late to class because of it.

5. Pranksters

As I said, most students are willing to help. There are a few you have to watch out for, though. There are those among Liberty students who would rather play a prank or two on new students. Some may point to the Monogram on the mountain and tell that is where North is. Others may tell you that the Rot is someplace that it isn't. I can promise you that these students are not the majority. If it sounds too ridiculous to be true, it probably is.


These are some of the major things you may run into on Liberty's campus. This of course isn't comprehensive, but it should be enough to get you through your first few weeks of college. Some of your freshman friends may even wonder how you already know so much about the school. Just tell them you found it on the Internet.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
