Hokie Trapped in PA

Knowing several LU grads...

I have been genuinely impressed with them as individuals and in their professional standing. Whether or not you relate to their faith or not, I believe most would stand out in their profession. More often than not their chosen curriculum would be much the same as most secular schools and would have requirements in addition to their courses of study that would be more overtly religious. Much like Notre Dame, Boston College and Villanova are Catholic Schools, Liberty is just the same but not Catholic. Many may not know, Wake Forrest is, or was established as a Baptist institution. I would have no concerns with the quality of education from an LU grad.
