I am going to join Luther College and slightly anxious. I took a gap year and am even more nervous about returning to an educational institute.
How are the academics in Luther? I do not expect it to be a breeze, of course, but is it challenging? Also, how are the teachers and the teacher-student relations?
The academics will challenge you, but not be terrifying. Since you are concerned, you should contact the international student office and ask them to put you in touch with some other nternational students who will be returning this year. Those people will be able to help you out.
You can have a wonderful time at Luther.
