There is a great sense of community amongst the majority of the people on campus. Everyone is very friendly and have the midwest friendly attitude. Playing two varsity sports is very common at my school and is encouraged.

Decorah is a beautiful place, and it just felt right to be here. The music program is fantastic and that was what drew me to Luther College first.

Luther is a close-knit school that has a strong musical base and one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation.
