    Willamette was hands down the most comfortable school I visited. I would say that all the smiles I see walking around campus is evidence that others feel the same way. This is a school where there is something for everyone and if there is something a student wanted to try for the first time or get back into after a few years, Willamette will offer the opportunity. It is like a fairytale: go after your dreams and you will come across resources to assist you. read full review
