| Lovely School
Cal Lutheran isn't getting any attention, but I want to say that it is a great school. Nice campus, dorms and small classes. Individual attention. People often say, I wish I had known about this school when I was looking at colleges. One day it will get more publicity, I suppose, and then it will be too hard to get in. For now, those who attend have a great thing going. (One of my children is a student at CLU and loves it.)

kekeo008, CLU is in a nice, quiet area of Thousand Oaks. It is really a "bedroom" community, and very safe. If you are looking for big city excitement, you will have to drive to L.A., but there are plenty of restaurants and movie theatres and hiking trails, etc., to keep you busy. My daughter has gone snowboarding several times over Christmas break. (Mountains are a couple of hours away.) The beach is half hour or less drive. Check out their web page and come for a visit! (You can live without a car on campus, but it will of course be more fun with one.)

Students at CLU come from all over the US and the world. Hawaii, Colorado, Oregon, England, Russia, China and on and on. There is no "in-state" advantage like the UC's and CSU's because it is a private university. I am not sure what you mean by "how is it for out of state students", but if a private, christian education in a nice, quiet area is what you are looking for, then CLU is an excellent choice. It is an expensive university, but CLU has a generous scholarship program for good students. I appreciate how hard it is to "look" at schools so very far from Florida. Good luck in your search.

kekeo I think a student from Florida would feel right at home at Cal Lutheran. It is within an hour of Santa Barbara, one of the prettiest places on the planet, and within an hour and a half of LA....depending on traffic. The campus itself is lovely, tree covered and small in a nice community. Check out the website for more detail.

Hi, our son has been accepted to CLU but is taking it off his list as he says it's too small and will feel like H.S. He loved it when he visited it but now has changed his mind. Is anyone attending or have kids there that have outgrown it after a year or two?

I just decided to attend CLU in fall 2008. I am super excited, and I totally agree that the school does not recieve the attention it clearly deserves. While it is not exactly rigorous to recieve acceptance, I have heard great things about the caliber of classes they offer. =]

Hi chels1746: Great decision on your part. It is a great school and I think with the new president it will only get better. We are actually leaving this afternoon and will spend the day there tomorrow. I am hoping my son decides to attend CLU as well as I think it's a great place for him. Did you join the admitted students chat site? My son is on the list of members. You can PM me if you are interested in his name, etc.

Mindy Sue it is a very nice place. The community, campus and programs are great. I encourage your D to check it out fully and do an overnight if possible.

| Cal Lutheran acceptance
Just look on collegeboard.com and they have it in the "at a glance" section. If not there, try the other links, it is there!
