The campus is a cozy size and easy to traverse. The classes are small and personal, with excellent feedback. The instructors and faculty alike are friendly and incredibly helpful.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Learn your way around quickly, and hang around the Student Center if you want to stay in-the-loop with current events and promotions. People have bake sales there too! Also, never be afraid to ask for help. The whole staff is friendly and either know the answers to your questions or know someone who does.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academics are taken seriously, but teachers are encouraging and invigorating instead of harsh and strict. There are plenty of tutors and resources for studying, with an extensive library and many places to do group work.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Most of the student interaction takes place outside the dorms, so there's not much to say about that. The buildings themselves are well-built and kept clean and tidy, with quick responses to any technical issues. Have fun trying to figure out wifi in some of the dorms, though; it would be best to use an Ethernet cable if your computer can attach one.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Hein has some of the best food I've ever eaten in a school dining hall. There's such a variety of choices that it never feels like they're repeating menus over and over. Even the pizza is gourmet! There's also Lucky's, which sells amazing wraps and mozzarella sticks. Plus a Starbucks for those who need their caffeine intake.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's both student- and faculty-led events happening almost year-round, so there's bound to be something you like. The Drama department has multiple showcases over the semesters which are free-of-charge to students, and there's a weekly Coffee House event with open mic and good community.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Though a bit on the expensive side, the activities and education you get at TLU, along with the sense of community, really makes this a worthwhile college.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for students who love to connect to others, or who like feeling involved without having to act uncomfortably.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus police alerts are sent through emails, texts, and the main portal web page, as well as serious matters posted on physical boards around campus, and staff are quick to respond to any issues.
