I take it you don't make it to Lynchubrg very often lol? Just kidding, outside of Lynchburg itself I rarely hear of anyone who is attending/attended Liberty.

I think they have about 10-11K or so on campus. A Kechoughtan High grad (Hampton) who goes to my church went there as a freshman this year. I don't know when the on-line thing got going, but I believe they began in classroom around 1971. I personally have done quite a lot of graduate work there, which requires me to go to campus for one week intensives. (They have accredited programs that happen to directly relate to my career.) I believe the staff is trending away (at least the ones I deal with) from hard-core fundamentalism, and many of the students are "normal", intelligent, serious students. That said, you still run into the sheltered, stereotypical LU kid who was reared in that type of belief system.
