Computer availability is great but bring one if you have it
Lots of labs and easy wireless all over campus. It's nice to have your own laptop for schoolwork, in order to avoid walking to the computer labs at night, and for when you live off campus. Each student gets a certain amount of free printing, so don't bring your own printer!

The dating scene is tough- the unbalanced guy/girl ratio seems even higher than it is (which would be about 40/60). Women make the first moves and I know plenty of awesome gorgeous single ladies here. Luckily, Portland is full of young people! Get out there and meet them!
There truly isn't a typical student- many people cross the boundaries of stereotypes. There are, however, lots of hipsters, hippies, athletes, radical feminists, bookworm types, and plenty of nice people. People dress comfortably but not extremely casually- not many PJ bottoms, but definitely jeans etc.
Socially the school is fairly cliquey, but you will find great people if you put yourself out there.

Great
Lewis and Clark gave me a great financial aid package, appropriate for my family's financial standing. Through all 3 years they've been consistent. Scholarships aren't hard to get if you're involved and get decent grades. The office can be difficult to contact but are generally helpful.
