Off Campus Housing
Off campus housing is not available for Freshman & Sophomores since there is a requirement to live on campus the first two years unless the student is commuting from their parents home. However, there is reasonable houses to rent within a mile of the campus. Since there are new campus apartments owned by the college, most student prefer to stay near the campus. The Hewlett Packard apartments were owned by HP and later purchased by Linfield which consist of double, triple or quad units. The units have individual furnished bedrooms, furnished living room, full kitchen and individual laundry machines.

Guys & Girls at Linfield College
Most students feel that the overall attractiveness of the students at Linfield are high and that there is a mixture of different personalities. Most are friendly, well mannered and fun to be with. Since the school emphasizes connecting learning with leadership opportunities, there are plenty of fraternity and sorority students who fundraise for good causes, and sponser live bands, dances and events so there are ample opportunities to meet other students. The college is also big on sports so there are a lot of the jock types as well. The great thing about Linfield is the focus on balance and trying new things, so often times, many students will meet their special someone in a field that is totally unrelated to their own and at the same time discover a new subject that their passionate about. Many students pursue their passion through research or internships which later help with their career choices.
