Lewis & Clark College's average net price of $36,084/year is reasonable for a private institution, but housing costs in Portland, OR can still be significant. On-campus housing typically ranges from $8,000-$12,000/year, making it competitive with off-campus alternatives.

  • Live on-campus for your first 1-2 years to lock in predictable housing costs and avoid Portland's rising rental market
  • Consider shared housing off-campus in neighborhoods like Sellwood or Jade District, which are more affordable than areas closer to the college
  • Look into housing cooperatives and student-run housing organizations near Lewis & Clark, which often offer below-market rates
  • Explore work-study or resident assistant positions that may include free or reduced housing as part of the compensation package
