Concerned for Your Saftey - So Be Safe!

The school takes drinking and drugs very seriously, their main concern is the students safety. As long as you drink responsibly you will be fine, if you are being irresponsible you will probably get caught and then go to the punishment bored. Punishments usually are not to bad unless it becomes a reoccurring issue. Once again, their main concern really is your safety.

Overall Good Tech. Support and Computer Access

In my experience, Willamette is a tech savvy campus. One of my favorite parts of electronics here at Willamette is the webprint system, wherein one can print from his laptop to any printer around campus. This proves very useful for students without a printer in their dorm/if in the library without easy access to a personal printer. At the same time, the printing at these webprint stations can get extremely hectic once finals/midterms roll around and people are printing vast amounts of paper.
