“Winter allows for all sorts of snow sports (snowboarding, skiing, ski-surfing, snowshoeing, ice climbing, winter backpacking/camping), and the summer provides its own set of activities (mountain biking, camping, backpacking, kayaking).” When they’re not on the mountain or in the river, students “hang out in the small downtown area.” “Downtown Durango is very beautiful and historic. “The great outdoors are very important” to those who attend Fort Lewis College. You will find on the Fort Lewis College campus an abundance of “outdoor loving, open-minded,” “laid back,” “liberal,” “super artistic, super environmentally aware, intellectual” “hippies.” They profess “all ranges of religious beliefs,” and they are “generally involved in extracurricular activities, such as intramural sports and outdoor pursuits.” As far as where they all come from, one student estimates that “the student body is split in thirds: one-third local, one-third from the Front Range, one-third from all over.” One unique aspect of the Fort Lewis student body is that it “has a high Native American population,” as well as a “lot of good opportunities specifically for Native Americans.” This in large part is a result of the tuition waiver the school generously offers to all Native American students. But “Because Fort Lewis is a liberal arts institution, you get a very well rounded experience.” And there’s a “bonus-no grad school, so profs teach their own classes.” Student Body For full details, please click here.Ĭombining a “beautiful location,” “excellent” professors, “small class size,” and a “helpful” administration, Fort Lewis College offers a “quality education provided in an intimate learning environment coupled with an outgoing and outdoor community.” “The professors are wonderfully talented, and many are over-qualified for their positions.” Why do such accomplished professors come here? “Durango attracts really high-end professors even though it is a small town because it is so beautiful and so many people want to live here.” Professors bring a “well-balanced mix of instructional styles as well as academic, life, and career advice.” And “they are always willing to spend time outside of class tutoring or talking, and most of them use several learning methods in the classroom.” Like the faculty, “The administration seems connected and accessible.” It seems as though students can’t go wrong in choosing a major, as students cite “archaeology, chemistry, teaching majors,” “great English and history departments,” “business” and “music” as academic strengths of the college. ![]() COVID-19 Update: To help students through this crisis, The Princeton Review will continue our "Enroll with Confidence" refund policies.
