I chose CLU because of a number of factors. I had been looking at specific universities for several years before I made my choice, and had been to the States to visit some of these in the summer of 1987. At that time, I only looked at schools in the Midwest, maybe unconsciously because it was the most Scandinavian part of the States, and therefore a little bit familiar. But when the time for choice came, when I was completing my military duty in the Norwegian Air Force, I was excited about Los Angeles as a city, the beach near by, the fact that I could enter as a sophomore, not to forget the scholarship which so many Norwegian students receive from the university. I hope you have kept the small classes, where teachers and students get to know each other.
Diversity is certainly one, curiosity and learning.
Among the students I spent a lot of time with were those involved with the International Club, where I was the president in my senior year.
