Meet Rissa, your Cal Lutheran tour guide, and her copper friend, Gumby!!
Get to know your tour guide, sophomore Rissa, and get ready to experience the amazing little private university of Cal Lutheran through her eyes!See a typical freshman dorm room
In Mt. Clef dorms have two residents in each room and a suite is a set of two rooms sharing a bathroom. Suites are single-gender, but halls are co-ed; meaning you share a bathroom with the same gender. Each room comes with beds, desks, and dressers for each resident. They have plenty of closet space. You can bring a mini fridge and microwave, also a tv and exercise equipment. DO NOT MOVE IN WITHOUT A MATTRESS PAD!!! Sometimes you have perfect roommates, clean and easy to get along with, and sometimes they are the worst, messy and mean or anti-social. You just have to be considerate and respectful, and you should get along fine, but nobody is perfect and there are bound to be just a couple bumps in the road.Samuelson Chapel
Even though "Lutheran" is in the name, Cal Lu has no intention of converting its students or forcing any ideologies onto students. There is a religious atmosphere at Cal Lu through organizations and clubs on campus, which include non-Christian clubs such as a Hillel (Jewish) club, a Muslim Students Alliance and a chapter of the Latter-day Saint (Mormon) Student Association. University Chapel is every Thursday in this chapel and is optional for all students and faculty. University Chapel is very inclusive as a reflection of our campus community and student body, chapel consists of Jewish and Christian readings and more. Chapel hour (11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.) is the time on Thursdays when University Chapel is held, and at that time no students have classes, so it is basically an hour-long lunch break. Students are required to take one lower-division and one upper-division religion class. Lower-division religion classes can be more on the historical side, while upper-division courses are more debate and research centered and can be really interesting.The most basic classroom
Soiland Humanities Center holds the largest variety of classes possible: religion, language, english, philosophy, and psychology. Classrooms in this building fit betten 20 - 40 students at full capacity.
