Portland State University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Portland State University?

Jessica

If you are extremely liberal, want a degree in something that will never get you a job, are vegan, and a weird portland hipster/artist type, this is a good fit.

Anthony

A person who expects a lot of help. Being indepepndent is the number one thing that I did not expect and I kind of need more help around there.

Sarah

Someone who is uncomfortable around a diverse setting. (age, race, gender, religious preference.) Also, someone who does not enjoy the rain, because Portland is a very rainy city.

Genesis

Any type pf person can attend this school and fit right in. Portland State University is such a diverse University , actually it's main goal is for it's students to be as diverse as they can.

Katharine

People shouldn't attend if they want to belong to the Greek System, since one doesn't exist at this school. They also shouldn't attend if they want to be anonymous in their classes.

Anastasia

Portland is the perfect place for those who are creative, open-minded, and eager to try new things. PSU is not the ideal school for close-minded, conservative, and strict religious individuals.

Vanessa

someone who is capable of self teaching and who is well disciplined. there are a lot of students in the classes and teachers are not always able to give attention to everyone. they need to be outgoing and be sure to be assertive to insure that they get what they need out of the class and experience.

Brittany

PSU is a good school for all types of students.

Catherine

This school is very good for anyone interested in liberal arts, music, active discussions, environmental and community based activities, and anyone who loves to use their creative mind. People who are good at facts and numbers will not have such wide range of opportunities. Also, people who have no interest in the environment or giving back to the community will find that it is incorporated into many aspects of this school, and is held very central to the school's main concerns with student involvement.
