Curious about what Luther is really like? Read our students' blogs.

For an inside look at life as a first-year student, follow Allison, Opeoluwa, Anna, Marcie, Jake, and Danny as they blog throughout their first year at Luther.

And if you'd like to get a more experienced take on life at Luther, check in with Sharon and Collin as they blog about their sophomore year.

Want to know what really happens when Luther students leave the comforts of campus and study abroad?  Tune into Kate's blog as she spends a semester studying in Tanzania (and be sure to check out her archives—you won't want to miss any of her African adventure).
