<p>thank you for this post! i am seriously considering attending willamette. it sounds so perfect on paper. very nice to hear that the environment is ‘looser’ than L&C, because at one point L&C was my number 1. honestly now, i consider willamette much better. however i’m on the other side of the US, so i probably will not be able to do a visit (i know that’s usually bad, but i’ve been doing TONS of research about willamette, so i think i can still make the right choice). i’ve been taking college classes since my junior year (and all honors+AP before that), so i don’t think the workload will be much of an adjustment for me at all.</p>
