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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
