Luther College Top Questions

A person who hates religion and cannot handle people expressing their faith. My school is a Lutheran school and often times we pray and express faith at college events. Someone who doesn't like personal attention or the small school feel should also not attend. Luther is a smaller school and has a lot of individual attention from professors. It would be difficult for a student to slack off or skip class and not be noticed by the professor.

A person who wants a big-school experience should not attend Luther. Luther is a small school, not too small, but you will recognize people around campus very often. Also, Luther is in a smaller town so someone who goes here needs to be okay with not being around many stores, malls, and restaurants. Finally, Luther is a very expensive private college. The financial aid is very helpful, but it is still pricey after the grants from the school.

Someone who doesn't enjoy music or eccentric intramurals like Quidditch and ultimate frisbee should stay away from Luther College. Also, if someone isn't looking for the "community feel" or neighborly kindness wouldn't like it here. Not to mention, a person who doesn't enjoy a view of beautiful nature and majestic bluffs shouldn't attend Luther. If they aren't into enviromentally conscious efforts in everday life, they might now want Luther. And finally, if a student does not desire personal attention or constant availability from professor, they might want to take Luther off of their list.

Students attending Luther are bright and come from the top of their graduating class. They are outgoing and often think outside the box. Students come from a very diverse background, they have been and done so much. They are well rounded students who have a sense of direction in life. Students who should not attend Luther College; should be lazy, unwilling to challenge their own ideas, not friendly, closeminded, and a bad person overall.

If you need a large, busy metropolitan area Luther is not the school for you.

A person should not attend this school if they have no ambition to succeed or lack confidence to branch out to the student body. Academics are challenging. Because classes are so small, if a student begins to skip class, it is recognized by the teacher and the student's participation grade will be lowered.

The kind of person who wants to just go through the motions and have others do the work for them. The area is very outdoor oriented and active. So if someone does not like being outside may not enjoy Luther College as much as I do! Someone who wants to sleep or drink their way through college would not have the same experience.

People who want a big university college experience shouldn't attend Luther. However, other than that I cannot think of any type of person that wouldn't enjoy their time at Luther. While the most popular fields of study at Luther are Music, Science, and Education; I am a History major and feel that I am getting a great education. Students at Luther are also very involved and there are a plethora of extracurricular activies for students to involve themselves in. I have been able to participate in groups and activities that I never would have imagined prior to college.

People who are academically lazy shouldn't attend Luther. The courses are challenging and the professors do their best to decrease grade inflation. You have to work to earn good grades. I also think that really conservative people would not feel as comfortable at Luther. The school is very diverse and takes pride in its open-mindedness.

A person should not attend Luther College if he or she dislikes the outdoors and nature, or if they do not care about the environment. Luther has an entire department dedicated to sustainability. A person who likes to be surrounded by city lights and night clubs also might not like Luther. Although we have a couple small dance clubs, Luther is located in a small town with few surrounding cities. Also, Luther is very community based, so a person who dislikes being around people and small talk might not like attending Luther.

Any person can attend my school. As a liberal arts establishment Luther College offers many academic programs, offering more than 60 majors, preprofessional, and certificate programs. The student body at Luther is small, about 2,500 students, but diverse in culture, values, and ethnicity. As a private college Luther also offers many opportunities for students of any type of financial background to help them obtain a Luther College education. With a somewhat small, but diverse, student body, a wide academic range, and the ability to provide financial aid for all walks of life Luther College opens their doors to anyone.

Someone who will feel suffocated in a smaller town and population. If you are somebody who loves being around a lot of people all the time, Luther probably isn't right for you.

Anyone who has to be in a city should not attend this schoool. They will go insane.

A person who isn't goal driven, or a person that doesn't want to learn.

Luther College is a small school located in a small town with the closest big cities being about an hour away. There are many outdoor activities to participate in and experience. If someone does not enjoy or cannot tolerate the outdoors, needs a big city to be nearby or wants a large school this is not the place for them. It will become confining and isolated from the rest of the world.

If you are not open to a strong community between students and professors or if you are unwilling to commit to the rigor of the academic work here, then Luther is probably not the place for you. If you are willing to work hard, meet your professors as people, explore the world, and make great new friends, then it is the perfect place for you.

Anyone who is not willing to work hard for what they want to acheive should not attend Luther College.

A person that would want to be socially deprived and stay in their dorm room all day. Go out and see Decorah or the campus. There is more to Luther than your dorm room. Go out and meet the friendly midwestern people. It is pretty hard to do that when you are stuck in your dorm room.

Luther is a small private school located in Decorah, Iowa. I would not recommend this school to students interested in being located near a large city. Decorah is a very small town, enough to have decent restaurants, and the campus is located within walking distance to downtown, but it does not offer a lot of the ammenities a school in a larger city could offer.

If you like to go home every weekend and are anti-social Luther isn't for you.

Someone who wants to attend a very small college. The college is small, but there are definitely smaller ones out there. Also, if a person is looking for that big city feel, they're going to have to drive about an hour or more to get it.

This is a hard school. A lot is expected of the students. So, I believe hardworking people who are friendly, and outgoing should attend this college.
