Most people who first look at this small school have doubts about its overall size. But it is not the about the buildings or the square footage of campus that;s important about a school, it's the people. TLU's slogan is, "Small Classes Big Difference." This is very true. Students have a lot of interaction with the professors, and the one-on-one attention is the key. Getting to know your professors and the relationships you create with them will help to light a fire for many students because they'll want to the the best they can for their professors. Many students say that TLU has really helped them realize what they're interested in, enjoy what they're learning, and decide what they want to do with their life. As a small private school, TLU doesn't have the same bells and whistles a lot of large, state-funded schools do, but TLU has an atmosphere that makes students feel right at home. Most students here say they never feel lost in the crowd or overwhelmed.

This is a small school, so if you come in with the wrong attitude you will obviously leave with one. You will leave with a solid educational foundation and a solid social circle. And, just like at any school, there will be students have not yet matured and whose minds have not yet left the world of high school, but stupidity is everywhere and if you use that as evidence against any school you may be looking at, you will be sorely depressed. TLU is truly a great place where good things happen.
