The spine
Campus
The Spine is the main walk of campus that everything is connected to. Events happen at the flagpole and clubs will promote themselves and recruit members along the Spine like in Pitch Perfect. The campus pretty much empties out on the weekends because we have 50% commuters and a lot of residents go home, but there are still events and things to do.

The scandinavian festival in kingsmen park
Scandi Fest is an annual cultural event gathering people from all over Ventura County, not just students. The festival shows off some culture that we aren't exposed to every day along with great food and great people. The festival fills up Kingsmen Park, which is the central focal point of the CLU campus because of the open space and stereotypical beautiful weather.

Meet freshman (ma)kenna
Campus
Makenna is a freshman business major living in Mt. Clef Hall, which is the best freshman res hall at Cal Lu. Kenna came to Cal Lu because she fell in love with the school and campus while her sister, a recent alum, was enrolled and living here. She was attracted to the business program and is now involved in the CLU chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, which is our business fraternity.

Samuelson chapel
Campus
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.

Mt. clef freshman residence hall
Dorms
Mt. Clef Hall is Rissa's former and Makenna's current residence hall. The P(urple) Lounge is pretty empty during the day and can be a good place to study or chill out if you want to get out of your room. RAs will put on hall events in the Plounge with free food and games. At the beginning of each year, they do a brick painting event in the Plounge, where residents can paint bricks to hold their doors open. Rissa and other residents watch the 2016 Presidential Election in the Plounge. The study room is great and residents can borrow cooking utilities from RAs to use in the kitchen (bring your own food). Rissa made most of her friends at the start of Freshman year by keeping her door open every night and saying hello to other residents walking by. \

See a typical freshman dorm room
Dorms
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.

Rissa tells you a little bit about other freshmen dorms
Dorms
The other, way less awesome freshmen dorms are Pederson Hall and Thompson Hall right across the street from Mt. Clef. The two halls are exact mirrors of one another. They have two floors of dorms and open courtyards in the middle. They were built originally to be apartments in case the whole college dorm thing didn't work out. Each suite has a living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms, but no kitchen. Depending on need, there can be 4 or 5 residents in each suite. The suites come with beds, dressers, and desks, you can bring your own couches and mini fridges. The halls have laundry rooms, study rooms and lounge rooms. Even with just two people to a room, you are close enough to hold hands while you sleep.
