Review of California Lutheran University

from Alta Loma, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Cal Lu is proud to have a school that is all about diversity. Students are able to connect more with other students, professors and the community of Thousand Oaks. The small school size will help any student learn more about the subject they want to learn more of with smaller sized classes, and have more opportunities to have a better and brighter future!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't be shy! go out and have fun, experience new thing, meet new people and try new things. That is the best advice I can give to any new student, if you don't want to try new things college will be less fun and you want college to be one of the best experiences in your life.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

California Lutheran University is tough because school is tough but what I love about CLU is that school can be easier because the professors are glad to answer questions and have workable office hours that will allow you to understand your class easier! Also the classes with be easier or harder depending on the professor, subject and the amount of energy put into the class.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I give CLU 5 stars because the dorms are big and you get to share your own bathroom with your roommates! So it is nice that you don't have to walk down the hall in your towel to take a shower or even go to the bathroom but you have it in the convenience of your own room! Also the older you get the dorms just get nicer so you have something to look forward to when you are a senior!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food at CLU is good the cafeteria has a buffet for salad and pizza and the best part of our cafeteria is that we have a touch screen menu that allows you to pick what ever you want on the menu and it is made right on the spot! Just like any other cafeteria some foods are better than others so you just have to try it all!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

CLU has many things to do for fun! Each dorm has different activities that a RA (a student in charge of the students living in the dorms) organizes to allow the students to get to know each other better within the dorm and make the dorm experience even better!! Cal Lu also has one of the best football teams in California for division III and the games are EXCITING to go to! The clubs on campus are also a fun thing to do and you get to meet other people who love the same thing you do! If your athletic and want to join a team, JOIN ONE!! All the facilities are new and you can contribute to Cal Lu spirit!!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

UNDIE RUN!! It happens every year and the cloths get donated to charity! We also have two volunteer dates that are available for students that allow them to help the community and meet new people! Every activity done at the school you either get food or a free t-shirt! I have 20+ shirts!!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
