Luther College Top Questions

The best thing about my school is its reputation. It's known for its academic rigor and its community involvement. There are many successful alumni from this school. I think I have an easier time finding jobs, and will have an easier time applying to graduate school because I went to Luther College.

I love how Luther is so community oriented. The freshmen orientation program is great at helping people get comfortable with the school and area right away and it's amazing how quickly this place becomes like home. I also love how there is always something fun going on, either right on campus or just a short walk away in downtown Decorah. One of the big selling points for me as well was the faith-centered learning that is present here as well and all the opportunities to get involved with college ministries if that's something you're into.

The fact that you are able to receive a higher education from an accredited liberals arts school, while taking advantage of a close community is the best part about Luther College. With friendly students and faculty, most people feel welcomed and find a place right away. Professors work with students to help them grow academically as well as individuals. In this supportive and close community, the students become emotionally attached, and even after graduation students are still a large part of the community.

The best part of Luther College is the tight knit community feel and the exceptionally talented music students. It is great to be surrounded by peers that are just as enthusiastic and dedicated to their music as you are. The professors also help you strive for excellence and are constantly challenging you to be the best.

I think the best thing about my school is the fact that it's so small and friendly. If I ever have difficulties with anything, there's always someone there to help.

The people here really do care about everyone. They will do whatever it takes to help you succeed. This is the best part of my school because you are always welcomed. It is just great!

The best thing about Luther is the faculty-student relationship.

Luther College is the friendliest place I have ever been. The book shop, for example, is like a gift shop at disney world! The women working the counter are always smiling, and they are full of friendly chatter, even if all you need is change for a ten. People you don't know will smile and say 'hi' as you pass on the sidewalk. There is only one cafeteria on campus, so it's always full of people you know exchanging jokes and happy greetings. Mr. Rogers is jealous of how friendly our neighborhood is.

I would consider the best thing at Luther to be the amazing oportunities, although it is a small city, Decorah has a lot of stuff to do. If you enjoy nature, it is amazing. Luther has so much to offer as far as places and things that you can do outside. You can take a ride on the bike path, go fishing, hiking, mountain biking, snoeshoeing, cross country skiing, camping- the list is endless. Luther has the greatest opportunities for people who love nature because everything is so accessible. Luther may not seem hopping but there is plety to do.
