University of Portland Top Questions

Describe the students at University of Portland.

Shelby

My classmates at University are dedicated to their studies, involved in the school and community, and provide UP with the energy and school spirit that makes it great.

Carmen

My classmates are awesome; they are very friendly and very accepting. I enjoy meeting new people each semester, everyone is generally very friendly and open. I can't describe them in one sentence because they are just too awesome for one sentence.

Marcus

My classmates are outgoing, smart, and always willing to help out.

Claire

The stereotype of hipsters in the NW is very apparent at UP. Don't worry though, if you don't fall into this category (I do not) you will be fine. Most people wear jeans, vans, Northface rain jackets, hoodies, and for some reason the nurses find it necessary to dress up everyday. Lots of people wear sweats too and this is totally acceptable. Most students are from WA or OR with a large handful from CA. It is rare that there will be someone from the midwest or east coast.

Erin

They are here to grow emotionally spirtiually and educationally; but the majority of people here are sheltered, and remotely entitled: you have to search to find truly down to earth people, but its worth it.
