Trinity Lutheran College

I go here.
I’ve gone to two community colleges and a university and nothing compares to the quality education I get here. You see, the school is small and so class size is also small. Where at Western, I would be in class with 100 or so students for a 101 class, at Trinity, maybe there are 20. The individualized attention a professor can provide means that we learn how to get through our confusions and stuggles.
There is a Christian focus but students of all faiths, no faith, all backgrounds, genders, and gender preferences are welcomed. The school is very diverse because Trinity has a soccer team that attracts many European and Latino students. The students are great! I’m a older student and I feel comfortable and welcome around them. It’s like a community.
Every student takes the Trinity Crux which is a set of Bible courses. At first, I thought they’d just be like regular Bible study classes but they’re rather academic, in-​depth and difficult. One of the most difficult courses involves the history of the Bible. This isn’t about the stories of the Bible but about the physical object itself. That class was challenging.
While the school is small, the campus extends into the community. Gym classes are held at the local YMCA and a basic broadcasting course is held at a local radio station. Plus, all students are require to take Service Learning Practicum which is volunteer work out in the community. As a communications major, I was able to be placed in a local church as a publicist. I not only got wonderful resume building experience but it was fun to see my work helping bring more community engagement into the church.
The school stays high tech. Because it’s small, technology changes are less expensive and so students are able to go into the work force with the technological knowledge they need. I’ve even used the latest SPSS software for statistical analysis on a research project I did. It was rad!
I work full time and am able to attend school at Trinity because the department advisors are also the head of the department and can be mindful of student needs when setting the class schedule. There isn’t a lot of bureaucracy to fight through to get things done.
As one who attended and hated university, I strongly recommend this school. It is fully accredited. The focus is on education and success in the workplace. I am in love with this school!
