Why Lewis & Clark?: I chose Lewis and Clark for its easy access to Portland, surrounding nature, and for the liberal arts aspect. I knew I wanted to attend a small school and have small intimate class sizes to help me get a well rounded education. Being close to Portland really helped as well because there are so many academic and social resources available.
