University of Portland Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about University of Portland?

Kara

The campus is situated in a beautiful area away from the harshness of downtown Portland. The professors are all very friendly and although they give an intense workload, it's worth the hours of studying to get an A. The school's tuition may cost a lot but what you get out of it will help you in the long run way more than if you had just stayed in Hawaii and gone to a community college.

How it is nationally known and the class sizes are so small. The school also offers a lot of scholarship money as well.

I like to point out that because I went to a small school, I got a better overall education. I didn't have difficulty getting any of my classes. The class sizes were small and the professors took the time to know each student. I was able to get all the help from my professors that I needed. Since I was a science major, I spent the majority of my time in the state of the art science building. We had all the equipment that we needed for our projects.

The class sizes are small and you get a lot of personal attention. The teachers are easy to get in touch with and love to talk to students about everything from help with the class to life and career goals. The school is very concerned with the students succeeding. I am in the science department and they love to get undergraduates involved in research, the professors encourage us to get involved with the school and to go to REU's. The study abroad program is awesome! The girls soccer team is great.

The small campus definitely creates a great feeling of community. I also love the city of Portland. It's so easy to get around here, and we never run out of things to do.

Melanie

How the people are so friendly, most of the time. It is easy to make friends here! I love the small class sizes because it allows us to get to know our professors... They are easy to find in office hours too in order to get help. The teachers are always here to help and that is what I love about this school. Everyone here wants us to succeed.
