California Lutheran University Reviews

"The advantages of the program include the individualized attention, career preparation, integrated student teaching and classes, small town security, and lack of difficulty. That being said, I believe that the lack of difficulty is a huge drawback of the program. I am slightly alarmed that some of my classmates will be teaching our children someday. Another advantage that proposed an inherent disadvantage is diversity. Although it is great to be surrounded by the diversity that I will see in the school system, CLU caters to this diversity too much. I enjoyed the same diversity at Rutgers University, and was able to actually learn from others as much as I was able to focus on my chemistry major. At CLU, the teachers are so focused on catering to every minute need of every student that the lessons suffer constantly. My instructors are all retired teachers "on a soap box" who are content to indulge the idle curiosity of my unfocused classmates or preach their personal political beliefs. I have not made it through one class yet without an irrelevant conversation lasting over 20 minutes. I believe that I can get the material enough to become a strong instructor, and unfortunately their program is "unique" so transferring is not an option without basically starting over. Honestly, if I had to do it again then I would never ever choose this school."
