If a beautiful campus, surrounded by trees and nature, within driving distance of a major city, is what you desire, Lewis & Clark College is the college for you! LC is a great liberal arts school on the outskirts of Portland, with pretty reliable transportation into the city for freshman without a car! On-campus housing is decent, and there are definitely lots of opportunities and ways to meet people with similar interests. My favorite part is the faculty, specifically certain professors in the Psych department and the Religious Studies department. Religious Studies in particular has been a surprising interest to pursue, and advising faculty has been supportive in working these classes into my busy schedule! I would reccomend this school!
