<p>S got his acceptance and a nice merit offer yesterday, hooray! He applied in late December. Until last fall, we had never heard of Willamette but by chance we were helping move a relative from Salem to NorCal and got a chance to informally look around the campus. S fell in love with everything about it, academics, atmosphere, sense of community, small student body, and beautiful surroundings. After doing some research, he really liked everything he read and heard about it. If he doesn’t get in to his first choice (we won’t know until March), Willamette it is! For him, it is a perfect example of “love thy safety.”</p>
