Describe the students at Lewis & Clark College.

At Lewis & Clark, classes consist of students from different backgrounds and interests, but all are engaged, open-minded and willing to learn something new.

Dylan

The student body is a friendly liberal bunch. I haven't found the cliquey qualities that other reviewers seem to take issue with. However like I said people aren't quite as enthusiastic about academics as I would have liked. Lewis and Clark boasts a large percentage of alumni who join the peace corp, which speaks to the mentality of many students here but not so great to the quality of job preparation. I think that's more due to the student body as opposed to the academics. I feel like most people would feel accepted here. As the amount of athletes is on the rise, so is the amount of conservatives, so they certainly exist here, although they are rarely verbal about their politics.

Kelsie

The predominant race here is caucasian, no question about that. However, L&C has an awesome international student program so the campus is sprinkled generously with students from all over the world-- from Japan to Norway. The student body however, is extremely clique-y. Even the dining hall has a feel of segregation to it; the "light" side (better lighting and closer to the food) has your typical sports fans and bros, the "dark" side has your art enthusiasts, the quiet ones, and the loners.
