Why Lewis & Clark?: My first impression of L&C was that it seemed to be the ideal mix of great academics, interesting students, and amazing outdoor opportunities. I am excited to travel to the west coast and explore a different area of the country, and take advantage of the great Outdoor programs. I love being able to look out my window and see Mt. Hood, and hope to spend some time skiing on its slopes when I am not too busy with studies and golf.
