California Lutheran University had me well prepared before entering. Everyone here was knowledgeable and friendly, ready to answer questions and help wherever they could.

I just transferred to this school from Michigan so I can't really answer this question in full. I wish that I had known sooner that transferring is hard work but worth it if you have plans of seeing as much of this world as possible. I'm excited to dive into a new place and meet new people. However, it would've been nice to schedule sooner than two weeks before school started because that has given much stress, along with dealing with financial aid. Other than that, everything I needed to know was on their website!

I wish that I had known that a sleep schedule is important. If I could have had a set sleeping schedule I feel that it would have made all of the difference during my first semester. I also wish I had realized that it wasn't my responsibility to take care of my roommates and that although it is good to look out for them I didn't need to take care of them. I should have focused on myself instead of worrying about others.
Courtney
I don't think I have anything I wish I would have known before coming to Cal Lutheran. They were really informative and open about what the school is all about.
Alexandria
I wish I had known more about the school's history, where all the administrative and academic buildings were, and what the professors expected from the students.
Jordan
What i wishi had known before I cam to California Lutheran University is that before the scool year had begun to make as much friends as possible and to join as many clubs as possible.
Jessica
I wish I would have known a little more about what going to a private school exactly intales.
Lauren
That the majority of students are not spiritual, and the University has less of a Christian emphasis than other Christian Universities.
Ember
Before I attended California Lutheran University, I wish I would have known that the school is rather small. I was surprised seeing the same people everyday around campus when I arrived. I aslo wish I would have known many of the people that attend this university are fairly local, which means many students are not on campus over the weekends. As far as academics, I wish I would have known that planning out a class schedule was fairly difficult due to sections not always being available or classes being full.
Matthew
Before I came to college I wish I would have known a lot more about how to be ready. What exactly do college professors expect from a first-year student? What kind of work load should I expect? Questions like these would have been helpful to my transition. Also, more about the schools you are admitted too. You should learn the diversity factor, how big the classes on average are, how people usually commute around campus, and even what the food is like. This is the place where you'll be spending the next four years of your life.
