It truly is. I live and work in Lynchburg, having moved here in 1987. The bottom line is the quality of kids he turns out, and our company, like most companies in Lynchburg, tries to hire them every chance we get.
Liberty is not a party school, their grads have disciplines already ingrained that we have to spend time instilling in other college grads. Perhaps their best quality is that they embrace capitalism without the "hesitations" and baggage instilled in students on liberal campi.
Incidentally, Randolph Macon Woman's College just decided to go co-ed. Virtually all the alumni are against the move, and the issue has garnered headlines for the last few weeks here in town. The board claims it is a financial necessity. There is no more PC, left-leaning school that I know of, perhaps that is why support is waning?
That is an interesting bit of information. Never thought I would see the day when that school went co-ed. Upper crust and all that. You moved there when I was at LC. We moved to Richmond in 90 and to WV in 93.
