Also, be creative in your activities because Salem will most likely not provide you with grade-A entertainment. However, there are a lot of other activities such as taking trips to the mountains (1.5 hours) or to the coast (1hr) which more than compensate for the lack of "fun" to be found within "city" limits. You don't have to be an 'outdoors-ey' type to enjoy. If you want quality clubs and bars, Portland is only 45 mins away. Willamette makes an effort to bring in a bunch of interesting guests (Desmond Tutu, David Sedaris, Wynton Marsalis, Amy Tan, Benzir Bhutto etc.) and offers lotsa intramural sports. Academically, Willamette is a very good liberal arts college. Classes here are small in size and quite tough. If this college were transplanted to the east, it would receive A LOT more attention...it's just a matter of time. Looking for something more exclusive and on the snobby side? this is not the place (although you could probably find that as well). All in all, Willamette is low-key, down to earth and everybody from administration to staff treat you as a person. One of the greatest advantages is the approachability of professors. Dinner with them is not uncommon. No need to worry about campus aesthetics either, the campus is really, really nice. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Surrounding City: B- Have a Question?
