<p>I have been admitted to this college and I want to know something about the environment there. Can anyone who knows there can give some advice?
Thank you</p>
<p>I've never been there personally. One of my friends goes there and he seems to like it fine. One of the guys on my floor just transferred away from the school after Fall semester... not really sure why though (I know his brother goes to my school).</p>
<p>All of the Concordias are extremely religious. Make sure that's what you want...</p>
<p>Religious...maybe that is a little problem~
Thank you very much!
What about the career and the rate of going to grad school?
Such as internships and teachers...</p>
<p>I applied there, and my cousin goes there. According to their website, within 6 months of graduation, 96% of students were employed in their field of study or in grad school. I'd call it "fairly conservative" as opposed to "extremely religious." It's affiliated with the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America), which is the most liberal of the Lutheran denominations. They still have single-sex dorms with fairly strict regulations on inter-visitation hours (as in, checking in at the front desk and the RAs going through and kicking people out at a certain point of the night). It's a good, solid school, but definately not for everyone. I ended up at St. Olaf college, which is similar, but certainly more liberal, and has begun to advance itself on the national level. Concordia Moorhead is still little known outside the midwest. Oh, and it's cold/windy in the winter in Fargo/Moorhead, just so you know :-)</p>

<p>Don't generalize: yes, there are many religious people at Concordia, yes, it is associated with the ELCA (which is itself fairly liberal), but there are also many students who are not all religious and many of those who are religious are not Lutheran. If you go to Concordia, you will be accepted for your beliefs as long as you have thought about them and not just blindly accepted them.</p>
