The most frustrating thing about our school is the food. It is the same food over and over again, day in and day out with no variation and it is extremely expensive!

University of Portland is a Catholic school, so it does have some conservative policies. As a non-catholic, I never felt pressured into observing Catholic practices. They are supportive and welcoming to all religions. But their policies are still informed by their beliefs and that can be a bit limiting.

What frustrates me the most about UP is having to figure out how to pay the very expensive cost of attending here; i think coming to school here is worth it...but that doesn't mean that I'm not constantly worrying about payments and such.

The fact that those who are richer do better because they don't have to work while attending school. Also, the fact that families who blew all their money and didn't save for school get more financial aid. Also that if you're ethnic you get a bigger scholarship.

One of the most frustrating things for me is to find enough time to stay current with all the home work for my pre-engineering classes while working full time.

The fact that the school will not offer me financial aid. I work hard for this school and they still do not seem to care. My parents pay for my school and they can hardly afford their own lives. I know that my father may make enough to pay for my school, but he makes enough if he was only paying for my school. The cost of this school is too much, especially since my parents both attended this school and my parents have made many donations in the past.

U of P is a small school. So if you want to go to a school bigger then your highschool , U of P is not it.

The most frustrating thing about school would be balancing play with work. You really have to figure out how to do well in your classes (studying, homework, etc.) while balancing time with friends.

For someone who paid out of pocket it was very difficult to afford.

since it is small, gossip travels fast. everyone knows everyone else, which is not necessarily a bad thing, unless something bad happens. the rain would be another thing that could be seen as a frustration. the food isnt all that great but it is still healthy and they do try.
