Why I chose Liberty University
I chose to research Liberty University because of its values and leadership training abilities. Liberty is a Christian school and upon visiting there I felt at home, but didn’t know much about it. Of course the guides told us all about the sports programs and the class sizes that are very small with a 12 to 1 ratio in many of the classes that are not gen. eds. After visiting with one of the art department faculty I learned that I would only have one or two teachers that would teach me everything I needed to know about interior design. Last year’s graduation was a total of 18 students from the program and all of them had jobs guaranteed for them. Liberty also gets you into the class pertaining to your intended major’s sooner than most other schools. By freshman year I would have at least one class involving interior design.
