Most transfer after going to clu
By Danny, From Sacramento, CA
In my experience CLU did not prepare me for a career, after transferring and experiencing a better schools programs, I feel much more prepared to enter the work force. CLU May be right for some, however I did not find it academically challenging. Most people stick to their groups and won't change so making new friends can be difficult. The small class setting was probably the best thing about this school. It's a very small school that still feels like high school, if you love high school, you'll love CLU.

Great school
By Class of 2013, From Oslo
Very happy I chose to attend Cal Lutheran. Small classes where it's easy to meet the professors one-on-one. It's a small campus, but in a great area of california - within a short drive from the beach and walking distance from great hiking trails in Wildwood Regional Park. It's also in one of the safest cities in the America. I was surprised to find students here from all over the world and the country

This school did not meet what is expected
By CLU2019, From Thousand Oaks, CA
While this school has some benefits in that it is a small school and is in a part of California that allows you to reach the beach easily, I found that it lacks great academics. Classes lack depth in subjects leaving students underprepared for the workforce. Additionally, because the school is so small it can be difficult to meet new people once you settle into a group of friends. I have not met a single student who has said that they came to CLU for the school itself, typically students who attend CLU came simply because they were offered a large scholarship. Over half of the population are either commuters or from nearby so campus is nearly empty on the weekends. Upsides to this school are dorms and proximity of classes. No need to wake up 20 minutes before class to walk across campus.
