Most of my friends whent to large universitys, so I like to brag about the small size of my school. Luther college has very small class sizes which makes it easier for one on one time with a professor.

I also enjoy bragging that the farthest building that I have to walk to is only five minutes away instead of across town like some of my friends.

The music school here is unbelievable. The sheer numbers of involved students is unparalleled for a school of our size. Some schools have to beg to get enough men to balance their choirs.

The calibur of music is every bit as impressive as the quantity of musicians.

It is a very welcoming and intimate atmosphere. It is likely that you know most of your classmates, and say hello to them passing on the sidewalks. Students hold doors open for each other.

Because of this, you are likely to know many different people from many different countries and many different backgrounds. In addition, the school pushes you individually to perform your best as a whole person.
