California Lutheran University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about school is just getting used to the change. College is very different than high school and it takes some adjustment. Just trying to grasp these changes on your own could be a little bit stressful at times, but once you figure it out is is all worth it.

Besides not having a commuter lounge room, there is nothing frustrating about Cal Lutheran. The school is actually building a new cafeteria and there would be one there. Besides that everything is perfect, even parking! Cal Lutheran gives you lots of financial aid, four places where one can eat, a library opened until midnight, a pool, a huge gym, and many other exercise classes that help students stay in shape and forget about stress. Another thing that is awesome about Cal Lutheran is that it has small classes taught by really intelligent professors that allow students to participate while learning.

Trying to get classes from another university (private) transferred over.

The most frustrating thing about Cal Lu, is the tuition. It raises every year making it harder for students who need finiacial assistance to get the money that they need in a sufficient amount of time in order to complete their degree. This is the issue that I am facing right now. Being the first in my family to attend university, and working multiple jobs to support myself without my parents assistance has been very hard. Both of my parents are working and it is a struggle for them to help me financially with tuition for my education.

There is nothing I find frustrating about my school.

Coming in as a freshman, the most fustrating thing was how small the school is. However, it definitely grew on me and now I love it.I could not picture myself haing to wake up an hour earlier just ot go to class. Currently I don't really care for how the dorms are set up. The freshman are isolated from the rest of the students. Now as an upperclassmen I find it a little tougher to meet new people on other halls.

The most frustrating thing about California Lutheran University is to see that even with the most amazing faculty, there are still the students who find it convenient to take a nap during a lecture, or those who try to get by with doing as little as possible just to get through and grab their degree. Though, there are many financially privileged students who truly care about enhancing their education, there are still those who want to buy a degree instead of earn it. With this economy and job market being so competitive, it only motivates me to be my best.

I think the most frustrating thing at CLU is room selection.

None

The only thing that seems to frustrate me as well as many other students at CLU is the lack of parking spaces available for the amount of students who attend. Although they have been marked in order to increase the amount of spaces, it is definitely a hassle, as I'm sure it it as most other colleges.

The school is very small, so you come in contact with the same people alot of the time.

There was not anything frustrating

Since it is a private school it is very exspensive and paying for school is difficult.

The most frustrating thing about school is the food service.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the meal plan. I am not a fan of the food on campus, but I mean other than that there's nothing that is too frustrating.

The most frustrating thing about California Lutheran University is getting the right meal plan. At this school it can be difficulty to have your meal plan changed due to school regulations. Students need to go through a petition process with doctor notes and phone calls. It's better to be on "Munch Money" at this school rather than a meal plan.

There is nothing frustrating about my school.

No matter what time of day it is, you'll see some activity that the school is doing that is clearly a waste of money. The gardeners really don't have to trim the bushes everyday and security can easily walk around campus; it's small enough so Segways are unnecessary. It's frustrating when the tuition is so high to attend this school and instead of lowering the cost, they spend it on pointless work. Yes, it makes the campus look lovely but I don't think it's necessary to mow the lawn and renovate so often.

Dorming is a bit frustrating. The way you chose your rooms is not a good process which they chose and when you have higher credits than certain people its frustrating to get a dorming complex that is not as good as others. Food is also kind of frustrating because your meal plans work in meals not just money so you can not use three "meals" within two hours or a certain time period.

California Lutheran University is a GREAT school! I am very happy. My frustration was very minute. I was frustrated because the school did not state that there were two separate admission departments determined by the field of interest. I submitted my application to one admission office within the school but was told it should have been sent to the other. The school was very accommodating and sent the application to the other office for me. The admission process went smooth from there and the guidance counselors were very nice and easily accessible. I learned communication and patience are very important.
