According to the Fiske Guide to Colleges 2007, the five best are:

-Lewis & Clark College: ‘The West Coast’s leader in international and study abroad programs. Politically liberal, but not so far out as crosstown neighbor Reed. Portfolio Path to admission allows students to finesse standardized tests. With Mount Hood visible in the distance, there is wealth of outdoor possibilities.’

*Quotations= “The courses are all challenging, but it’s only overwhelming if you let it be” & “The students here are interested in making a difference.”

*Its strongest programs are psychology, international affairs, foreign languages, biology and environmental sciences, and english.

*It’s a private college with tuition that costs from $22,000-$27,000

*Its academic rating is average, its social life is average, and its quality of life is average.

-University of Oregon: ‘UO may be the best deal in public higher education on the West Coast. Less expensive than the UC system and less selective than the University of Washington, UO is a university of manageable size in a great location. The liberal arts are more than just a slogan, and programs in business and communication are strong.’

*Quotations= “I could wake up 15 minutes before class and still be on time while living on campus” & “Our campus is totally dry by policy. The only students that are allowed to drink must be of age and do so with their doors closed.”

*Its strongest programs are architecture, music, creative writing, business, chemistry, jouralism and communication.

*It’s a public university with tuition that costs from $5,000-$6,000

*Its acedemic rating is somewhat above average, its social life is average, and its quality of life is above average.

-Oregon State University: ‘The biggest dilemma facing the typical 18-year old Oregonian is whether to be a Beaver or a Duck. Choose Beavers and get small-town life with professional programs in business, engineering, and life sciences. Choose Duck and hang with the ex-hippies in cosmopolitan Eugene.’

*Quotations= “If you are looking for a college that is close-knit and has a friendly ‘college town,’ OSU is the place to go!” & “The college has its intelligentsia, its social butterflies, its determined atheletes, and any combination of those”

*Its strongest programs are agriculture, biotechnology, forestry, engineering, and busniess.

*It’s a public university with tuition from $5,000-$6,000

*Its academic rating is below average, its social life is average, and its quality of life is average.

-Reed College: ‘Reed is a West Coast version of Oberlin or Grinnell, mixing nonconformist students with a traditional and rigorous curriculum. Only 70 percent of first-year students graduate in six years, due to Reed’s demands and the fact that its students often live close to the edge.’

*Quotations= “Reedies are highly motivated, intellectually curious individuals who want to challenge themselves,” “Reed is intensely academic,” & “Portland is a vibrant, bike-friendly, eco-conscious city of pine trees, coffee shops, bookstores, and live music.”

* Its strongest preograms are biology, chemistry, pyschology, english, philosophy, history, and physics.

* It’s a private college with tuition more than $30,000

* Its academic rating is somewhat way above average, its social life is average, and its quality of life is above average.

-Williamette University: ‘Williamette is strategically located next door to the Oregon state capitol and 40 minutes from Portland. Bigger than Whitman, smaller than U of Puget Sound, and more conservative than Lewis and Clark, Williamette offers extensive study abroad enhanced by ties to Asia.’

*Quotations= “Williamette is special because there is true passion for this institution,” “Many professors promote group projects in addition to individual papers,” & “Williamette’s wellness floors are very popular and build very strong relationships.”

*Its strongest programs are politics, biology, economics, and english.

*It’s a private university with tuition from $22,000-$27,000

*Its academic rating is somewhat above average, its social life is average, and its quality of life is above average.

They are all good colleges. Michigan State, Washington, and Richmond are really good (Washington is the best). Rutgers, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arizona, Colorado State, and Arizona State are all good. The rest are okay.
