<p>is there anything... wrong.. with this school? why is the acceptance rate 83 percent? is salem really that bad? any info would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>would it be crazy to go there (w/scholarship) if i got into davis and lewis and clark??</p>
<p>it's a great school, about comperable to lewis and clark, the student body is more conservative than at lc and salem isn't portland, but i don't think it'd be crazy to go</p>
<p>Great school, my D liked it a lot better then Lewis and Clark decided against it only because of the weather! Lots of personalized attention, great student body, good internships and research opportunities</p>
<p>Have you visited Willamette and Lewis and Clark? I think you have to visit - then decide. Willamette is within walking distance of downtown Salem, a big park along the river, and the capital. BUT the campus is small, the town is not hopping (have to go to Portland for live music or dancing, etc.), and the students tend to be maybe a bit more conservative than L & C. The campus food at Willamette is great!
BTW - it rains pretty much the same amount both places.</p>
