mlc has a small campus and low student-teacher ratio. it is a family atmosphere in which everyone encourages and supports everyone else. because we all have the same goal - ministry - it makes school much easier to adapt to.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
know your languages when you get here - especially if you want to be a pastor! be ready to work hard, and learn to budget your time and money.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the classes are tough and the expectations are high. but everyone here helps everyone else, and the faculty is more than ready to help each student succeed.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
freshmen men can be wild, but there is always somewhere you can go to get some quiet study time. since we are all moving toward the same goal, it really is like family.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the cafeteria is open almost 24 hours, so you can always eat. they have a sundae bar and are putting in a sports corner with big screen tvs and food. it may not be homecooked, but it is good!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
there are lots of things to do on campus for fun. we have a wide variety of intercollegiate sports for both men and women. intramural sports are a great way to blow off some energy. we just had a broomball tournament, which was a blast. there are lots of clubs, like drama club and sign language club. off campus you can swim at the local arena or shop downtown. you can hang out at flandreau state park. there are lots of restaurants and a movie theater as well. if you want to get away for the day, mankato is only a half hour. minneapolis is a little further, but you can see a twins or vikings game or go to a play.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
no question, mlc is ridiculously inexpensive. instead of paying by the credit, you pay a flat rate tuition and room and board fee. that's because we all have a set course of study. scheduling is flexible and everyone meets their graduation requirements on time.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
the strangest has to be hermann the german. new ulm is a uniquely german town (listed as the most ethnically german city in america) and there's a statue of hermann across the street from campus. should probably find out why he's famous before i graduate!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
students looking to go into the pastoral or teaching ministry of the wisconsin evangelical lutheran synod. it's a pretty specific group.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
drama club, choirs, wind ensemble, intramural sports, sign language club, dorm council, student government,
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
campus is very safe. there are campus police that maintain security on campus, in addition to dorm staff. plus it helps that new ulm is a pretty harmless town.
