Willamette University

Willamette University sits across the street from Salem’s hubcap capital. It’s a beautiful little campus. It has its historical roots in Methodist missionaries who came to the Pacific Northwest. For a college, they have great food. Their summer arts programs are excellent, and they have good dorms, surprisingly. Willamette University is strong in the arts. It’s a highlight of otherwise bleak downtown Salem.
