Why Lewis & Clark?: I love the school school environment and I felt very welcome and at home when I visited campus. I also love Portland and wanted to move somewhere very different than my home state of Colorado. I also wanted to attend a school where I knew I would be challenged academically but still feel supported by other students and my professors.
