Abby

Freshman · Business Administration, Management and Operations

Luther's student body includes numerous passionate people from different backgrounds, looking for opportunities to use their education. We critically think the world around me in my classes, and those messages stick with me as I go to my different extracurricular activities. Luther is special because students love to get involved with multiple different activities. I know a pre-med major on the football team that also participates in the top band. In short, Luther is a place to dive in.

Clara

Freshman · Performing Art

I love how supportive and friendly everyone on campus is. As a music major I love how the department is very competitive and known world-wide (the symphony just got back from a month long residency in Austria) yet it is very much a team effort. We all work together to improve as an ensemble and as individual players. The upperclassmen are so supportive and always willing to help coach. While our chair and ensemble placement is very competitive, no one acts superior.

Freshman · Religion / Religious Studies

Luther is a great small school that feels like home to me. The campus is very friendly and accepting of all people. There are also so many ways to get involved in something you enjoy on campus, there is a club or activity for everyone!
