[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is expressing interest in SLACs in the Northwest - places like Puget Sound, Whitman, Willamette, Lewis & Clark, etc. I really don’t know much about them. Does anyone have any feedback or recent experience with these? TIA. [/quote]

Lewis & Clark is located in an attractive area of Portland, Oregon.

University of Puget Sound offers a lot of Asian studies / international business & economics / 9 month trip through several Asian countries every other year. First President of the school was a former President of Northwestern University.

Reed College is in its own world. Visit to see if it is a fit. Rumors about lots of drug usage.

Western Washington University is not an LAC, but is a great school for environmental subject areas. Beautiful location.

Whitman College is well respected. Walla Walla is arid and has wineries. I have never been to Walla Walla, but it should be within driving distance of the Columbia River--which is spectacular. Whitman College has a very active Greek social system.[/quote]

We visited Puget Sound and Reed and Lewis& Clark and Whitman with DC.  Whitman is a long drive from Seattle or Portland.  It's on Mars, basically.  Walla Walla is very cute and the campus is nice, but the area arouit is arid and brown and terrible.  The Columbia Gorge closer to Portland and Mt. Hood is absolutely spectacular.  Not so much as you head east.  [/quote]
