Dan - 05/30/2018

It had a familiar vibe to what I had been used to from Catholic School in the 60s. I have enjoyed very close advising attention. The class sizes are small. The faculty is inspiring and brilliant. I noticed that I might be running out of classes that appealed to me.

Great School For people with full-time jobs and families.

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about my school is the location. It has a gorgeous campus and beautiful facilities, but just like everything in the greater Portland area, it is difficult to access during times of high traffic. For economic reasons I live in the Vancouver, WA area. It would not be feasible for me to live near to school as it is located in a very well-to-do community. It seems a shame that a school catering to commuting students is so far removed from where the students can afford to live.
