Linfield

The school is very pretty. Most of the dorms and the buildings are newly renovated are in decent condition, and the library is state of the art. The student center needs some work; this is mainly because it does not provide a lot of entertainment. Also, the gym is tiny. I wish that they would expand the gym because I know the demand for a bigger workout area is definitely present. The best part about Linfield is the people however, so the aesthetics are all about the people surrounding you.

Campus Housing at Linfield College

Awesome Housing, Lots of Options

Linfield's on campus housing is amazing! We have something like 17 different options. There are dorms with roughly 20 people to dorms with roughly 90 people. Most dorms are co-ed by floor, meaning there will be a guys floor and a girls floor. There is also 1 all-guys dorm and I think 1, maybe 2, all-girls dorms. There is also a wellness dorm, which is supposedly drug and alcohol free, but they also have longer quiet hours. I lived in Hewitt Hall freshman year and that was a great dorm. One fabulous thing about Linfield is that laundry is free so you don't have to collect quarters and you can do as many loads as you please. I would definitely suggest living in "south campus" because really it's more like central campus and is close to everything from the library, dining hall, sports facilities, post office, Catty Shack, Renshaw where you can print 24 hours a day, and a few academic buildings. North campus is close to mainly academic buildings and O'Riley's cafe. Another great aspect is that Linfield has on campus apartments that are really amazing. The Hewlett Packard apartments were built sometime in the 2000s and are really modern. The only downside is the living room is small, but you can live in the Whites if you want a huge living room. Linfield has everything from singles to doubles to triples to suites to quads to apartments. There are choices galore for housing. And I'd say they are pretty affordable. Some dorms even have walk-in closets or sinks in the rooms.

Strict When Need to Be

The rules are for the most part easy to follow and not difficult at all. As long as you abide by the rules, there should be no problems with anything. Don't make a big deal out of things, and break the rules for no reason. Follow them and you will not have any problems.
