  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation.

James from McMinnville, OR
Linfield is a small liberal arts college with strong academics programs. The professors go out of their way to help students whenever needed. However, most students are not very friendly.

Linfield College is a small private school that boasts an extremely friendly atmosphere amongst students as well as professors. The quality of education that is offered here is truly second to none because of the skilled faculty that is always willing to guide students. Financial Aid office works dillegently and therefore allows a majority of the student body to obtain substantial scholarship and grant money.
