Review of Lewis & Clark College

from Bend, OR

Describe your college in three sentences.

Lewis & Clark is absolutely beautiful. The campus is a fresh mix between nature and old buildings that gives it a good feeling. Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Everyone considering Lewis & Clark should visit the campus. I had one idea in my head, and then toured the campus and came up with an entirely different perspective. There is no way that they could convey everything just in a welcome packet.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I absolutely love the dorms. There is a niche for everyone. Definitely tour the campus to get a good idea of this though, or you might think you want one place, but really fall in love with another.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Cafeteria food is cafeteria food, no matter how you slice it. But the food court really isn't too bad. I've had a lot worse. I accidentally cut through the kitchen trying to find an elevator for my mom and I saw a lot of fresh foods, so I have no problem eating in the dining hall.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I come from a very low income family, and while L&C really shouldn't be in my price range at all, I was eligible for the Lewis & Clark Grant and that brought it into a much more affordable range. It's a private college so you can get a lot of institutional funding to make going to school here more realistic. There are a wide variety of incredible opportunities available at L&C that may not be accessible elsewhere, such as undergraduate research, which was a selling point for me.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Every dorm has an access pad, so only students can get in.
