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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being from Portland, it was a little bit of shell shock when I moved to McMinnville. It is a very small town and many activities are a long walk away, so I would recommend you have a car or Linfield has a very active biking community and a bike co-op. The surroundings are very beautiful though, and Linifield usually has something to do. Many activities such as a chocolate tour and moonlight snowshoeing are offered through the CIC and you can buy tickets for a nominal fee. There are also events like free movies and comedians that come to campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is a little difficult to afford if you don't have much money. Unless you are firmly upper-middle class and/or are getting parental help, plan to take out many loans. It does give you at least as much as you would expect for the amount you are paying, though I would recommend taking advantage of the free things they offer, and if you can live off of the mini meal plan then that helps too.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved and make friends from day 1. Linfield students are very active and cliques tend to form fast. If you introverted it becomes hard to break into these. Plus, you will be EXTREMELY bored.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Active, passionate students who want to learn and get involved. Also helps if you like small towns and very sculpted landscapes.
