Hello. I'm seeking opinions of, and anecdotal info about, Hillsdale College and Liberty University

Don't go to Liberty. I'm a moderate and I would never hire anyone from there.

And then ask what the difference is between a Liberty online grad from a residential college alumni. There are a lot of colleges that will gladly accept a student in the 50-60th percentile that are conservative and religiously-based. If you are in the 90+ percentile in terms of grades and test scores, think carefully about the doors and resources that conservative faculty (and there are a lot) can open for you at more selective colleges. The major conservative foundations and institutions invest heavily in identifying smart conservative students in the Ivies, funding their campus organizations, and connecting them to great jobs.

Ok, I'm not a fan of Liberty, but it seems pretty clear that OP plans on attending the college and taking classes at the University, so why the emphasis on the online classes? And basically every college has online classes now, There are other mainstream universities (such as UVA) that offer online graduate degrees. Yes, I'm sure Liberty offers more, but this is more and more commonplace.

If a university is mostly online students who all get accepted as long as they pay (aka, Liberty and DeVry), it's a huge red flag. UVA and more mainstream schools are mostly on-campus students, especially for undergrad, and they do not accept unqualified students into their online programs.
