Linfield pays the cost of round-trip transportation from Portland International Airport for all eligible students. Language prerequisites one year of college-level French, two years preferred. Linfield has operated this program since 1981. We got along really well. I got a chance to really talk and joke with them at our family dinners and when playing with the kids.
