University of Portland Top Questions

Schools with large focus on success as a whole person, such as the University of Portland would not accomodate someone who is not willing to stretch themselves out a bit with a diverse range of activities. This school encourages and pushes towards community service as a regular thing as well as being involved with at least a few of the multitude of clubs or groups on campus. Students who are not dediated to thier academic and worldly pursuits will not thrive at this university.
