Liberty University Commons: Walls of Brick, Walls of… Security?
Alright, folks, let’s talk about Liberty University Commons and their… walls. You know, the things that keep the riff-raff out? The ones that separate the hallowed halls of learning from the, well, let’s just say the “outside world”? Not exactly the Great Wall of China, but they do have a story to tell.
The Walls of Brick and Mortar (and Maybe a Little More)
First, let’s get the basics straight. Liberty University Commons, those fancy new dorms, are built with all the architectural flair of, well, a dorm. Think brick walls, some splashes of color, and maybe a few windows, just to let in a little of that “outside world” we mentioned. They’re not exactly the Taj Mahal, but they get the job done. And hey, who needs a Taj Mahal when you have a simulated stock trading room with glass walls? Talk about a window into the world of finance!
But Wait, There’s More!
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Liberty, known for its strict rules and, shall we say, conservative values, has decided to take “security” to a whole new level. We’re talking a 40-foot wall, folks! Yep, you read that right. A wall that would make Donald Trump proud. A wall that’s seemingly more about keeping things in than keeping things out. A wall that, frankly, makes you wonder if Liberty is building a fortress or a college campus.
Security or Siege?
The university claims this wall is all about student safety. But let’s be honest, it’s a little hard to ignore the irony of a school known for its strict rules and policies building a wall to keep the outside world at bay. Is this a message of safety or a statement of separation? Is Liberty University creating a safe haven for its students or a walled-off enclave?
The Walls We Build, The Walls We Break
The walls of Liberty University Commons are a symbol of something bigger than just bricks and mortar. They represent a clash of values, a struggle for control, a desire for separation. They’re a reminder that even in a world of open communication and social media, the desire for security and control can lead us down some pretty interesting paths. Maybe Liberty University is just trying to protect its students. Or maybe it’s trying to build its own little world, a world where the rules are different and the outside world is kept at bay.
Whatever the reason, one thing’s for sure: the walls of Liberty University Commons are a conversation starter. And in a world where walls are increasingly being built, it’s a conversation we need to have.
