California Lutheran University Top Questions

The single worst thing about my school is the parking situation. Can be very tough to find a parking spot at times. Would like to see a more modern library too. However, the current library is not bad.

Even though CLU offers a variety of majors, the variety they do offer is rather basic when compared to many other universities.

The food selection, especially on weekends.

I would consider the financial aid office the worst thing about Cal Lutheran. They do give a descent financial aid award out of high school but their staff is unhelpful when students come to them. The usual response is something like oh check out website and they are stubborn in the fact that financial aid packages are never altered to benefit the student. They have a unique policty with grants and awards that a student now maintain a 2.0 average and still get their award instead of a 3.0 orignally showing no incentive to achieve at their highest.

The worst thing about this school is the high enrolment fee for out of state students. While Cal Lu does offer several scholarships and Grants , competition can wear them thin. Many students must take out several student loans in order to pay the annual tuition.

Not as much ethnic diversity as I would like.

The steep cost of tuition at California Lutheran University (CLU) is the worst thing about my school. Although CLU is a school that offers a thorough and well-rounded education, and a supportive and warm community, many students struggle to meet financial requirements. For some, like my friend Kayla, expensive tuition makes it impossible for students to live on campus. Kayla is very involved in music and social activities, and living on campus allows for easy participation. Continually rising tuition costs, makes social and educational futures uncertain for a great number of students.

The worst thing about my school is how much tuition cost. This is the worst thing because I think it is a great school that many people should attend because it provides a great learning environment, but many people can't afford to pay and sometimes financial aid isn't enough.

The worst thing about this school is the price. It is very expensive but they do offer financial aid. If you truly know what you want to do with your life and are seriouse about the career you have chosen then this school is the one for you. Even though the price is up there it is worth it if you put the work in.

Don't get the feel of a big university

At California Lutheran University most students cannot find a bad thing to say about the school. The school follows good morals, is very diverse and fosters a welcoming environment for all. However, the one thing that most students do not like about the school is the catering company that is contracted - Sodexo. Sodexo, with help from the school and voiced opinions from the staff and students is now striving to improve with comment boxes and a constantly changing menu. With such resources the food quality is becoming better and students, such as myself are now satisfied with the food.

The worst thing about my school is that because of it's small size, everyone seems to know everyone. It would be nice to branch out and meet people that weren't somehow tied in to my close circle of friends.

i think that parking has been an increasing issue because my school has been increasing the number of incoming freshman every year as well as there has been an increase in commuter students. This is an issue because often I find myself trying to find parking for forty-five minutes, consequently, making me late to my classes.

I don't dislike one thing about this school. It is my home away from home.

nothing

I think once again the worst things is also the exspence of the school it is very hard to come up with the funds to pay for school each semester.

The worst thig about my school is the lack of serorities and fraternities. When I see my friends pictures, it makes me envious and wish that we had those things here at CLU.

Expensive, as I depend on a financial aid from Norway (where I am originally from) to pay for school, living, and food.

The housing for freshmen and sophomres is old. The housing for juniors and seniors is newer and roomier.

The worst thing about California Lutheran University is the lack of focus on the quality of food served to the students. The style of food served is out dated and does not reflect the readily available produce options present in California. There needs to be a greater focus on fresh and locally grown foods and an emphasis on the importance of healthy eating by providing lighter options for students.
