Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) Campus

As we leave Names Fitness Center, and head over to Olson Auditorium, I share a little about some of the group classes that happen inside Names as well as how PLU does a great job at keeping our equipment modern and up-to-date.

Here is a look at what one student thinks about PLU. It's great to hear the diversity of perspective from student to student. It is clear that every student brings their own perspective to the table, and it's important to attempt to give an unbaised look at PLU. PLU Does a lot of things right, and there's other things that could be improved upon. Hearing one student share their story about this is a great first step.

I hope you had a great time seeing PLU! I'm glad you stuck around for this tour! I hope you learned a lot about PLU and I would love to have you on campus.

Matt is a Sophomore at PLU and shares some of his insights into PLU as well as what he does at the bike shop. If you come to campus and don't have a bike, you can rent one from the PLU bike Coop! It's a great resource that students should take more advantage of. Also, if your bike is broken, they'll fix it for you! The Bike Coop is located in the basement of Harstad Hall

The Admin building is home to lots of different classrooms and offices. It houses our Student Financial Services, Welcome Center, Presidents Office, and More! You can also grab some food at the Lute Cafe on your way to class and get some hot coffee, cold drinks, or snacks and sandwiches!

When looking at where you decide to go to college, there are a lot of factors that need to be thought about. I try to synthesize some of the conversation that we heard today with the students we talked to, and look at both the pros and cons about PLU!

Red Square is a central place on campus where nearly all students pass through every day. It is right between classrooms, food, and residence halls. When it's a nice day you can see students studying outside and during finals week we have therapy dogs on campus to help prepare students for finals!

Come learn some little-known facts about PLU and learn about the original gym on campus. It's still there! Right next door is also our swimming pool. We also have our Columbia Center which used to be the Golf Clubhouse when we had a golf-course on campus. It is now used for dance classes!

Our Indoor Turf Field is very multi-purpose. We have different uses for it that include practices, Intramural sports, and more. Some of my favorite events that happen in here is the Tingelstad Carnival every year, and for New Student Orientation one of my favorite mingling events with 600+ first-year students!

PLU's Library is 3 floors, each gets progressively quieter as you go up. The first floor is great for group projects and working on computers. The second floor is good if you're studying with friends and have minimal talking. The top floor is designed to be completely silent unless you're in a study room. Come learn about our Design Lab, resources in our library, and more!

Come hear about the weather at PLU, and some places that rain more than Tacoma, Washington. (It might surprise you!)

Patrick is a Student Intern here in the PLU Office of Undergraduate Admission with me! He is a first-year student who has great perspective on PLU and what he likes and dislikes about it so far. I hope hearing from Patrick helps you with understanding what PLU is all about!

Come see a great place for events outside, especially during the summer when we have Jazz Under the Stars. Lots of great performances and open-mic nights happen here as well!
