What are the popular events and traditions at Linfield University?

Linfield's recurring student events include Luau, Wildstock and fraternity- and sorority-associated lip-sync activities. They provide different ways for students to participate in cultural programming, performances and campus social life.

Luau is associated with the campus's Hawai'i community, while Wildstock is a student-focused music and activities event. The form, sponsors and schedule of recurring events can change, so a current activities calendar is more reliable than assuming that a past program will be repeated exactly. Homecoming and athletics events offer additional occasions for students and alumni to gather.

What are the student housing and dining options at Linfield University?

Linfield's McMinnville campus offers student housing and dining options, including residence-hall living. Housing is most relevant to students studying primarily in McMinnville; applicants to Portland or online programs should not assume that a McMinnville residential arrangement fits their schedule.

Students considering campus housing should review the current application process, eligibility rules, room types and meal-plan requirements before accepting an offer. Availability should not be mistaken for guaranteed placement. Linfield reports high-speed internet access in its housing, but students should still compare the full residential package with commuting or off-campus living, including transportation and meals.
