Luther College Top Questions

When I brag about Bucknell to my friends, the first thing I tell them about is it's impeccable academic reputation. The education I'm gaining from Bucknell will prepare me for graduate work or medical school in a manner than few Pennsylvania schools can. In addition to it's scholarly benefits, Bucknell has outstanding athletics: a top quality gym, and several Division I sports teams. Overall Bucknell is the perfect environment for a college student to prepare for the rest of their life.

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. It is also nice to have that personal relationship of the professor not only knowing your name, but your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning in their class. 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. Our freshman class has roughly 300 men. 100 of them are in choir. Christmas at Luther, our annual concert including the choirs and the symphony orchestra, includes over 600 musicians. 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. You likely are friends with at least one of your professors, not just a number or a grade. Also, for a small school, it is very diverse; but still maintains its intimacy. 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.

When I tell my friends about Luther, I tell them that the small class size and personal relationships between the professors and students is amazing. The science labs are new, and they are beautiful. Everyone at Luther is friendly, and there is always someone who you can find to talk to. Luther also has the largest undergraduate choral program in the United States,; so choir is an awesome experience, and a great way to meet a lot of people in one place. Luther is a very ecologically friendly school and they care about the surrounding area.

We have great science facilities and athletic facilities. I am recieving a high quality education. Luther Alumni are all over the world.

Luther's students don't go home every weekend because there is so much to do on campus. The school sponsors activities like concerts and performances that all students enjoy. Also, I would say that I know my teachers and feel comfortable meeting with them outside of class and feel like their main objective is to see their student succeed.

I tell my friends back home about all of the amazing people at Luther. Everyone I met was warm and welcoming, smart and extremely friendly. You cant go wrong with the people you will work with at Luther.
