I'm commenting from a visitor's perspective. Easily the most beautiful campus I have ever seen. Sitting on top of a hill overlooking the town of Durango and surrounding mountains, with deer roaming freely unsuspicious of people. Can drive to the vibrant downtown in 5 min, or climb a newly constructed stair path of 500 steps to town. Nice facilities. Must be a beautiful experience to study and live here.
Amazing scenery! Very beautiful place to visit! Everyone is super friendly!
We took a tour of the college..what an amazing place..like a small ivy league college in the west! So much diversity and cool programs..Many of the kids were out for the weekend on a school wide rafting trip. Durango is a stunning town and the outdoor experiences are endkess and at your fingertips..out your door..what and awesome place!
I work in Berndt Hall. I love going to work everyday.
Amazing campus! Great views, all the administration and students up here are fantastic.
We just did a visit and we are very disappointed! Our daughter would have been a transfer student and she spent a lot of time & energy reaching out to Fort Lewis and talking with them. She was accepted & she has phenomenal grades! When we got there & she met Kayla, Kayla didn t even remember her. The tour was very informal, with a huge group (we had toured many colleges), they showed us their worst dorms, they took us in 1 classroom, and mostly ran us through the tour. They didn t even offer lunch (which is very important). My daughter had put down that she wanted to meet with some professors and financial aid and at the end of the tour Kayla just told everyone, Okay, thank you for coming ! Our daughter told her she had meetings with financial aid & to meet with some professors... Kayla & Shelby had no idea what she was talking about! Shelby gave her the name, number & an email of a professor instead of having that professor reach out to our daughter. Obviously they aren t in need of students! They just pushed their beautiful campus & all of the outdoor activities they offer, instead of their academics! So if all you want is a school with a lot of fun things to do & in a tourist town this is for you!
Small class sizes and close to nature. There's deer everywhere here!
Best college ever!! Fabulous class sizes, DII sports, and outdoor playground. Graduated in 2016. This place changed my whole life.
They didn't accept my application...because I didn't apply.
I graduated in 2011 and Fort Lewis was amazing. I studied geology (but most of my roommates and friends studied business). The professors were exceptional. They loved their respective field, gave relentless effort and tolerated immature undergrads with grace and enthusiasm. Durango is a super safe and fun mountain town. I was able to intern in my field at several places within the region and select a career path that suited my interests. We took loads of field trips all over the southwest. I can not imagine my life without those 4 blissful years.
