All of my classes at Lewis and Clark are great. I am learning alot from all of my teachers, and whenever I have a question it is easy to find them during office hours or through email.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The student population here at Lewis and Clark is extremely welcoming and friendly. I am a freshman here at LC and during my first week here, New Student Orientation week, I met a ton of new people all of whom were very helpful and nice. Aside from all the wonderful students, the campus is beautiful. Residing on top of a hill, Lewis and Clark is located in a quaint neighborhood full of lots of trees. On clear days I can see Mt. Hood on my walks to the academic side of campus. Also the drive up the hill from downtown Portland overlooks the Willamette river and surrounding areas, which is an amazing view.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Lewis and Clark is definitely worth the steep price they charge. First off you get a first rate education, the professors are great and hold regular office hours where they are more than happy to help you with whatever problems you encounter. Not to mention the class sizes are great, the biggest lectures only have roughly 40 students in them (which is great in comparison to some of the larger schools 400!). Secondly if you don't feel comfortable or it doesn't fit your schedule to meet with a professor we have great student tutors that you can meet with up to 2 hours each week for free! Right now I'm seeing a tutor for my physics class and its extremely helpful. The tutors can help you study for tests, complete homework problems, even edit papers for you.
On a different note, the tuition covers the RAZ, a free student shuttle that takes students downtown. The Raz runs everyday, except for holidays, and makes stops at Fred Meyers, Market of Choice, and others along the way.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Lewis and CLark is a great school for someone who doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the enormity of a large state school. It has a great feeling of community, and after nearly a year here I feel like I know or atleast recognize 75% of the students here. Getting involved in on campus activities is really easy to do, thus making it a great place for anyone who is interested in that. There is a strong art program with great ceramic and art studios for those who enjoy art. Basically Lewis and Clark is great for anyone who wants a small, yet not as small or prestigious as Reed, with a feeling of community. However the size is a large factor, and if you have any hesitations about attending a school with an undergrad population of roughly 2,000 then Lewis and Clark might not be for you.
