Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Putting aside Lewis & Clark’s reputation for being a weed-smoking, hippie school, the people at LC aren’t necessarily lacking in the looks department. It is true, though, that there’s a pretty uneven ratio of attractive girls to guys, so some girls decide to settle for someone they may not have even considered should they have attended another school. That’s not to say that all of the guys at LC are bad looking; the pickings are just a bit slimmer. It all depends on what you’re looking for. LC is definitely not lacking in the average hippie/hipster, nor people with brains. Almost every student is smart and pretty knowledgeable in areas that truly appeal to him or her, which keeps things interesting and never lacking in good conversation.

Style varies from student to student. The general look of the student body probably wouldn’t appeal to the average jock, but the average jock is the least common stereotype at LC. Every non-athletic student easily ignores jocks at LC, and you don’t often find the athletic students mingling with students outside of a sports team. That being said, though, neither group has any problem with that split. Guys range from the hipsters in tight jeans below their rear ends to hippies with pretty free-flowing clothing to the occasional jock wearing school attire. Girls range from those who dress comfy and casual to vintage-wearing hipsters to the girls with a lot of money, obviously advertised by their shoes and bags. If you’re into the casual, weed-smoking hipster that can still have pretty interesting discussions, LC may be the place for you, since that’s definitely the dominating vibe at the school.

There Is a 60/40 Ratio Girls Guys.

There are lots of hippies/ hipsters, rich white kids, and more girls than guys, though you don't notice. I wish there was a bigger racial and class variety though.

SPACE BABES ALERT

The hipster guys and girls have serious style and listen to great music. There are very very very very very attractive girls at Lewis & Clark whose sexualities are open and down. The guys are all sweethearts who are pretty respectful to ladies. If you are looking for really nice, genuine, artsy mates, Lewis & Clark is where to go.

Hipsters and Environmentalists on Steroids.

It's a small liberal arts college in Portland...aka hipster/environmental activist central. Girls with unshaved legs and armpits is very common. That being said, you still have the cigarette-smoking, clean-shaven, pretty attractive hipster chicks who know everything about every band you have never heard of. Guys with dreads, guys with tight pants and fancy vests, guys with no fashion sense at all are also very common. If you are looking for superficial, candy lips, big sunglasses, and orange tans...this is not the place for you. If you are looking for beer-brained, big guns, and rock hard abs...look again. There's also 0 greek life.

Needless to say, these "hipsters" and "super environmentalists" all (for the most part) have great hearts, high ambitions, and outstanding intelligence. Partying at this school can sometimes be a learning experience. Intellectual conversations and witty humor is inevitable. People at this school are curious about EVERYTHING. If you want to do things you have never done before, you're with the right people. Everyone at this school has an uncanny knowledge of music, art, literature, the environment, movies...etc. That being said there are some pretentious vibes, but ignore them. People will lighten up the more you get to know them.

Facts

Social Scene

The students at Lewis & Clark are pretty accepting, and oftentimes, it is not too hard to strike up a conversation with the people around you. However, most people won't break out of their social circle once it's formed.

Hookups or Relationships?

You definitely have your fair share of both, since this is college. There usually isn't much middle ground between hooking up and a long-term relationship at Lewis & Clark. Casual dating is just less common. Despite the size of the school, there is a pretty good mix of people, though it is predominantly hipsters and hippies. Relationships do happen, but due to the size, there may not seem to be as many people to choose from. On the plus side, Portland is a great city with some pretty awesome people to meet.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Outside on the lawns, Estate Gardens when it's sunny, the library, Maggie's Café, and off-campus parties. The eaiser way is in classes, because then you have something in common to start the small-talk. Once you know each other better, sitting together in the Bon can lead to more shared concerns about the food you’re eating.

Dress Code

The dress code at Lewis & Clark ranges from comfy casual to a pseudo-fancy casual. Think "I spent a lot of money on this to look like I didn't." You definitely get the hipster vibe—tight bands and lots of thin woven bracelets and rings. The only thing that's really of primary importance is the comfort; this is a college, after all, and most people are more interested in being comfortable and being quick more than anything else. On any given day, you'll come across a Birkentstock-wearing hippie or a student who simply chooses not to wear shoes in the rain—at all. Dreads are the popular hair choice for a lot of students, though not everyone. While not everyone may dress like the typical hipster or hippie, the comfort and free-flowing style of the look definitely begins to influence most of the student body.
