Welcome to the Welcome Center!
Welcome to the Welcome Center located in the Hauge Administration Building (known as admin). This is where all prospective students will come to check in for campus tours and meet with admission counselors. Learn about PLU's Mission Statement, what it means for me, and what being at a small school means!A Typical First-Year residence hall.
At PLU, we tend to stay away from the term "Dorm". For us here at PLU it's a lot more than just a place to live, but really a specialized place of residence where you feel like a part of your community. Learn about the different residence halls on campus, and explore what a traditional type hall looks like!Class Sizes, our biggest lecture hall, International Honors
At PLU, rarely (if ever) will you have a class with more than 40 students in it. Our average class size at PLU is 18 students, with a student-faculty ratio of 12:1. Come hear a little about my involvement in the International Honors program, and discussion based courses at PLU!Xavier Hall the Biggest and Smallest of PLU!
Xavier hall has our Sociology and Social Work classes, as well as faculty offices. The largest lecture hall has been nicknamed the "Harry Potter hall" because of the long chandeliers and high ceilings.
