Wellness Starts with Studying in the Pacific Northwest

Surrounded by lush forests, rivers, and mountains, Willamette’s Pacific Northwest location makes it easy to find balance and perspective. Whether you’re hiking a trail, paddling a kayak, or simply soaking in the beauty of campus, the outdoors is an extension of the classroom—helping students recharge, stay active, and thrive in and out of their studies.
