University of Portland Top Questions

Not that well recognized

The diversity in University of Portland is really low. By having a more diverse amount of students, the school's atmosphere might improve.

Although the neighborhood around the school is beautiful and great for a quick stroll there is little else to do within walking distance. If you're not a big fan of the transportation system a bike or a car is a must if you want to see more of Portland.

There are always issues with any college campus. The worst for UP would be some of the buildings. The University is going through a major campaign to get more funding to revamp our workout facility and redo the library, but they are so outdated it should have happened years ago.

Although I'm from Seattle, the weather in Portland can prove tiring. Even when rain is not pouring and my hood is not flying off my head due to wind, the gray and dreary atmosphere is not always invigorating. There are times when I wish for nothing more than the feeling of sun on my face, when I'd love to abandon some of my winter layers for the positive energy that comes with warmer weather. I feel as though it's been seemingly forever since my hands haven't been numb with cold and my desire for warmth quelched.

I would say the worst part is the diversity. While there are ethnic students on campus, there is not that many cultural events that occur on campus. However, the diverse personalities of the students makes up for the lack of ethnic diversity.

The worst thing about the school is that the dorms could be nicer and more well-kept.

Personally thre is not really anything I dislike about the school, however, I am not used to the rain because I am originally from California. For the most part it doesn't bother me too much, but I do miss the sun a lot. It is pretty easy to get used to and makes all the nature beautiful around campus.

The recreational facilities at my school are not great. They could use some serious improvement, especially with how much tuition costs. The school is, however, promising renovations in the near future.

The worst thing about University of Portland would be the price of tuition. However UP is very accommodating with financial aid. Actually 93{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students use financial aid.
