Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) Campus

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

Come check out Olson Auditorium, here about how it is used for various purposes, and also hear about what it means to be a D-III Student-Athlete. PLU prides themselves on student-athletes that are just as committed to their sports as they are to their academics. PLU does not offer sports scholarships, but that doesn't mean that we don't support our athletes and have incredibly talented sport teams!

Welcome to Pacific Lutheran University! PLU is a small liberal arts school located in Tacoma, Washington. I'm glad you're here and I hope you enjoy exploring where I call home.

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

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!

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.

Welcome to the Welcome Center located in the Hauge Administration Building (known as admin). This is where all prospective students will come to check in for campus tours and meet with admission counselors. Learn about PLU's Mission Statement, what it means for me, and what being at a small school means!

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!

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.

After leaving Reike Science Center, it's only a short walk past Foss Field to get to Names Fitness Center. As the weather gets warmer you will start to see lots of people hanging out and playing sports out on Foss!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
