REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe quality of education at Linfield is rich and diverse. The student body has very unique and open ways of thinking, making learning limitless and creative. The programs are somewhat limited, but not by much, and if Linfield does have a liberal arts program you want, you can be sure you'll learn a lot. The teachers are all incredibly helpful and many are friends of their students as well. The materials they use are up to date and filled with information. Linfield also has a Writing Center, to help with research papers and essay grammar. As a current student, I can say that I'm learning much more than I expected because Linfield makes things interesting, and the teachers are always there to help.
Rachel from McMinnville, OR
I have learned so much in the short time I have been at Linfield, and not just in class. I have been able to learn from the people around me, not just information important for my classes, but lessons about how to be a member of a community and to form relationships with those that I never would have guessed could be great friends. The professors are challenging, but always willing to help when you need it, and won't give up on you even when you struggle. Amazing!!!
Nicole from Coos Bay, OR
It's a great school where you can learn whatever you want your passion to be.
The athletics are awesome and the athletes are very accepting of all athletic abilities.
The campus is extremely safe and very beautiful!

Linfield is a small liberal arts college with strong academics programs. The professors go out of their way to help students whenever needed. However, most students are not very friendly.

Linfield College is a small private school that boasts an extremely friendly atmosphere amongst students as well as professors. The quality of education that is offered here is truly second to none because of the skilled faculty that is always willing to guide students. Financial Aid office works dillegently and therefore allows a majority of the student body to obtain substantial scholarship and grant money.

Caleb from Pendleton, OR
There are many different programs offered at Linfield. These different programs give you the ability to expand your knowledge and simply try new things. I have learned a lot at Linfield, in such a short time period. The professors are great at what they do and know exactly what they are teaching. Many professors are friends with their students which makes the student-teacher relationship so much better. It gives students an easier time when communicating about different topics. Besides learning in class, I have learned outside of class. I learn different things from my peers and new people that I meet, day to day. Linfield College is such a great school. I have learned much more than I have expected to learn due to Linfield being quite interesting and giving their students exactly what they want and need regarding their education.
Rhea from Ewa Beach, HI
The programs are very rigorous and thorough, but also fun. Professors here are amazing and are usually willing to work with you to get what you need done. There is tons of support here, so you have options if you start to struggle. Teachers also new and innovative thinking.
Victoria from Portland, OR
Especially, being an international student, I experienced and learned a lot while being in Linfield community. Small class sizes give you much opportunity to get to know professors and other friends very closely and discuss and learn subjects deeply. Moreover, by involving in volunteer activities in Linfield, one can gain interesting and useful experience by meeting different people and by doing different things because the college offers many opportunities for community services.
