Pacific Lutheran University Top Questions

someone who is very tight on money

Someone who doesn't like a small campus.

You should not attend this University if you are not willing to work and study hard. If you can not stay focused on your studies then this would not really be the best place for you. Also, if you don't have a lot of personal monies, sholarships, financial aid, it would be hard to go to this university.

Students who are serious about doing well and advancing on to a good job.

A person who is extremely academically driven. The sciences at PLU are all excellent programs that emphasize research based learning. This school also has excellent pre-proffesional programs such as pre-med, pre-dental and pre-physical therapy. 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. It is a dry campus but with tons of fun activities and bars in the surrounding area. This is a school where you are likely to make friends and career contacts for life.

This school is very discussion based and strives for involvment and participants from its students. Someone who would rather sit in large lecture halls and not have to raise their hand every class would have a hard time enjoying that classes at PLU.

People who are close-minded or unfriendly.

People who are looking for a smaller school that really supports its students. Also, people who are looking for undergraduate research, internships or working directly with professors. It is a school for undergrads as most Juniors and Seniors have experiences that only graduate students receive at big universities.

Someone who wants the frat life because the only greek societies they have are academic.

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.
