Located in the heart of the beautiful, secure town of Thousand Oaks, CLU is an ideal university for those who enjoy a tight-knit community that focuses on academics, diversity, and social connections. The small student population offers students more occasions to bond with fellow Kingsmen and Regals, and to connect with professors who actually know them as individuals, not just as numbers. The semester system enables students to delve into courses of their interest, and the time spent on academic studies helps students discover what they would like to do after their CLU years. With more than 35 majors and 35 minors, and a mix and match of doubling up on both, students are bound to find their perfect area of study. CLU’s close, intimate environment provides students with what other large, public schools can’t: countless opportunities to shine academically and socially, and stand out as individuals without the pressure and competition of a large student body. Clubs, organizations, academic departments, and residence halls are just some of the places in which students can become involved, contribute to their school and local communities, and bond with other students, faculty, and staff.
To briefly break away from the hectic class schedules and loads of coursework, campus events, like Club Lu, afford students with musical-, sports-, art-, and food-related events. From sports games at Dodger Stadium to catching a comedy flick in Kingsmen Park, CLU events bring students together for a night of fun. At any of these events, in class, at the caf, or just hanging out in the dorms, it’s not difficult to see the diversity of students. Coming from a variety of social, economic, ethnic, and political backgrounds, CLU students bring a great understanding and appreciation for other cultures on campus.

Challenging, but Not Impossible
The process of getting into Cal Lutheran and the Psychology program was not to difficult. There is different application processes that you can do, but the admissions does a great job with helping you figure out what to do and will help you step by step if you need it. Once I was at Cal Lutheran I was enrolled into a class that had to do with my major and also the general education that I needed to graduate. It was a great balance.

Great Class Sizes
Attending Cal Lutheran University I have been very fortunate and satisfied with the program that I have been offered. I enjoy everything about it. The classes are small so you can interact with the teachers and your fellow students. You get to know your students and the teachers on a personal level which is very helpful. The work load is manageable. There is a lot of reading, just like any other college. The curriculum is fun and offers each student broad options. Cal Lutheran also encourages internships and students are offered many jobs on campus. The career services center does a great job of helping each student find internships and job opportunities that satisfy the career goals you want to achieve.

There Are Some Consequences for Your Actions
There are certain things that the Cal Lutheran Campus is very strict about. Due to the fact that it is a dry campus, Cal Lutheran prohibits drinking and drug use and if you are caught with it you have to face the board. Parking is somewhat strict also. There are public safety always driving around making use people are parked where they should be, and if not you do get a ticket for it and have to pay or there will be a hold on you account. You just have to make sure to be safe and discreet and everything will turn out okay.
