Hubbard students had an opportunity to attend an overnight trip to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa on March 8th, 2015. Admissions counselor of Luther College, Michael Elliot, said he has done these trips for over the past six years and “every time all of the participants have had a lot of fun, both on the bus and on campus”. Ambar Stewart, Div. 509, said “The college is not a good fit for me.” The only thing that interested her was the basketball program and the athletic training program. She said, “The campus was beautiful, but the school is too small, in the middle of nowhere, and the dorms were also too small.” She felt that it did not show what college life would really be like. On the other hand, Jonathan Cruz, Div.515, said, “I was excited to see what Luther College was like.” Jonathan felt that the trip helped him experience college life and what it is like to be away from home. What interested Jonathan was the food, environment, size of the school, and the campus. Jonathan will not be attending Luther College because he seeks an urban setting with lower tuition. The students had options to participate in student panel, which consisted of four first year freshman gathering in the lecture hall to discuss college life and their transitions into college. Although both students had different experiences and thoughts on the trip, they still have options and found the experience a great first step into choosing the right college.
