Luther College

Love this place
The atmosphere here is amazing and the facilities are always clean and taken care of. I would defiantly recommend this as a top choice to shoot hoops and the best place for the disc golf!

Luther College is an undergraduate liberal arts institution of approximately 2600 students. It is located in Decorah, Iowa, which is approximately 15 miles south of the Iowa/​Minnesota border.
Lurther offers more than 60 majors, minors, preprofessional programs, and course work leading to the bachelor of arts degree (B.A.). Some of these are: Accounting, Art, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Education, History, Mathematics, Music, Nursing, Physics, Prelaw, Theatre, and many more.
The campus is nicely laid out, and located right next to town. Where the campus ends, the town begins. Decorah, Iowa is a nice, small, quaint town. Main Street is what you would think a small-​town main street would be– with nice shops on either side, with a few sports bars thrown in. I know, I’m not reviewing Decorah, Iowa, but you have to mention the town, when you review Luther College. One of the towns major focuses is Luther College, which it should be.
There are many hiking trails in and around the campus/​town. We just came back from a weekend there, visiting my niece, who is in her second year at Luther College. I just loved the feel of the college — safe, homey, and just a nice place to be. Of course, you go there for the wonderful education, but the surroundings of the college, the staff (and we talked with a few), and other students, all make it wonderful! Your money is well spent, when you send one (or more) of your children to Luther College.
Side note — if you want to see wonderful fall colors, go at the end of September, you will not be disappointed!

I speak for one particular non-​traditional full-​time student Majoring in History/​and Psychology. History to work in Middle/​High Schools while working toward her Doctorate planning on concentrating on teaching Virginia’s past to just after WWII and my LGBT History. This is my first semester at Luther, I transferred in from Northern Iowa community college where for the most part what ruled in the horrid small town high school of my past still ruled. where diversity didn’t exist, where Gay/​Straight Alliance was a thought and for nearly all of my 3.6 years at N.I.C.C. the school couldn’t be bothered with us being one of their communities.
The two colleges as different as night and day. Luther feels like what higher learning should be and yet seems to fall short of, Luther is students coming to class bare foot. My favorite place to read is in the old library laying on my stomach behind the stairwell. N.I.C.C. has a more cold sterile feel to it. N.I.C.C. is like that maiden aunts house that you hate to be dragged to but can’t get out of going to. I studied for 3 and a half years there working on getting 2 AA’s one in Human Services and one in Psychology. In 2008 August I had been hit by a retired 92 year old attorney in my hometown of Waukon Iowa. A town so Gay unfriendly that when the only out lesbian living there was struck and not killed the fellow who struck her wasn’t even ticketed and was the next day driving once more.(My higher math skills needed assisting). When i approached the disability office at N.I.C.C. for assistance with my learning problem I was told that I didn’t qualify for assistance because I wasn’t on drugs. It is a documented medical truth that 65 of the population that have never been struck by a car has a learning disability in higher math, so I came into Luther with 92 credits and No AA. When I teach and consul i want to be like a port to students who are diverse. We aren’t the same to begin with and should be seen as individuals no one should ever lump students in a group and decided that all 7 year old’s are like or unlike this or that. At Luther we future students or what you will learn that having a heart is a true gift.

Soli Deo Gloria. This is one of the 26 colleges of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Check it out at

If you want a school that has strong education, science, and music programs; that participates in the surrounding community; that is stunning in any season, and has connections to Mayo Hospital and Clinic in Rochester, MN for nursing studies. Then this school is for you. The best four years of my life.

Prettiest place in Iowa to watch a football game on a Saturday afternoon
