There is something dreamlike about Liberty University's campus, with its neat rectangles of lawn and academic buildings so new that they could be a stage set. Packs of youth roam tidy walkways, tossing balls and toting Bibles. Looking west, beyond the school grounds, you get the feeling that there is nothing but hilltops melting slowly into the heavens. In the opposite direction, an enormous "L.U." monogram is emblazoned on a green slope; a few hills away gleams the white patch of the school's year-round ski park.
