I knew that the Willamette Professors were going to be helpful and probably more so than a bigger school but I never expected such dedicated people to the education of every student. Even in classes I think I do not care for at first, I come out realizing I have learned so much and not just text book memorization. I feel able to converse on many topics and apply class subject matter to everyday life.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Willamette was hands down the most comfortable school I visited. I would say that all the smiles I see walking around campus is evidence that others feel the same way. This is a school where there is something for everyone and if there is something a student wanted to try for the first time or get back into after a few years, Willamette will offer the opportunity. It is like a fairytale: go after your dreams and you will come across resources to assist you.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Willamette is definitely an expensive school as far as tuition but they are very good about giving scholarships for academics and financial need. The education and personal time and attention I am receiving at Willamette is worth a lot more than the education at huge schools.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The most important part of choosing a school is actually visiting the campus. Walk around, sit in on a class or two, and maybe even stay over night. Being there gives you a feel for whether or not you are comfortable there. Willamette has many visiting opportunities and offers over night stays for prospective students where you can stay over night with current students in their dorm room.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
As I said before, everyone finds something to do at Willamette. Whether you are an athlete, a dancer, an artist or a musician, there will be numerous opportunities for excellence and Willamette gives everyone a chance.
