A person who is extremely academically driven. The sciences at PLU are all excellent programs that emphasize research based learning.

It is a small, tight knit school where you know a large porportion of the students and nearly all of the faculty in your academic program.

I would recommend this school to just about anyone. The only thing that might cause me to dissuade someone from attending PLU is if they?re really insecure in their faith or if they cannot handle criticism for what they believe. The teachers can be pretty open and condemning to people who believe in God, especially if they?re Pentecostal, as I am.
