Student Life

A True Community

The Linfield College - Portland Campus is a true community where people know one another well. Our students come from very diverse backgrounds. Some are recent high school graduates; others come to their studies with years of working and living experience - women and men, single or married. Yet all share the goal of becoming Health Care professionals. In their own way, each person makes an important contribution to campus life.

Many of our students commute to classes from the greater Portland metropolitan area, while others live on campus in our coed residence facility, Loveridge Hall. This modern brick building offers suites with kitchen and laundry facilities, comfortable lounges, and study areas.

Our student government organizes a variety of activities ranging from casual outings to more formal social events. Some are coordinated with students from Linfield's McMinnville campus. Events include dances and social functions, an Oregon Shakespearean Festival excursion and special educational lectures. We also have an active Student Nurses Association, Holistic Nursing Club, Christian Nurses Fellowship, Cultural Diversity Awareness Club, and a chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, an international nursing honor society dedicated to research and scholarship.
