I am
researching this school and
have visited the campus
I think that I would really enjoy it there. They have a lot of clubs, and everyone seemed very involved when I went there. I would also like it because they are affiliated with the Lutheran church. The one thing I don't like is that it is in a very small town.

The atmosphere is excellent. Very few students leave campus on the weekends, there is always plenty to do on campus. Concerts, plays, sports, it's all great fun!

I'm a political science major, but I am just as much a musician as I am a politics student. I sing in the Luther Nordic Choir, one of the best a capella choirs in the NATION. The Student Activities Council and Performing Arts Committee bring amazing cultural and academic programs, lectures, and concerts every semester.

I am
accepted here and planning to attend soon
I suppose I will enjoy being here, it's one of the most widely known music ed programs, and it has a famous Orchestra that travels to Vienna every 4 years. It's a good music program, that you don't have to audition into but you do have to make progress to keep going in the program.
