University of Portland Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Summer

The one thing i consider greatest about University of Portland would have to be the encouragement to go beyond just learning material, and learning more about the world around you. It seems that everyone wants everyone to be the best that they can be, and the push to do this is incredible. Through the emance help in the freshman resource center, a huge study abroad program, and many many many clubs and organizations to help you serve your community and learn about yourself, the University of Portland helps you in growing into the person you want to be.

The professors at my school are phenomenal. I love each class for the mere fact that I get to engage and meet a new professor. Each one has their own unique way of teaching and I have not met a single professor yet who hasn't tried to push me to do more than I thought possible. Then, the reward of having done well on an assignment and the knowledge that the professsor was able to watch you grow and aid in that situation is amazing.

The best thing about the University of Portland is the quality education a student can recieve. The teachers are incredible because they offer their help to all students and are always available by email and they offer a lot of office hours. The small class sizes make for a better learning envirnoment because it is easier to have a relationship between the student and teacher, rather than being in a class of 100 students. The education recieved here is one of the best, and one could see that just by sitting in one class.

The best thing about University of Portland is the quality of education. I do believe we receive the education that we are paying for here. The professors love what they teach and you can tell by the way they carry themselves in class and try their best to be available to help you if you are struggling. Everyone is also very friendly and accepting.

The best thing about the University of Portland is the community. "Community" is often a word that gets thrown around a lot when prospective students are looking at different colleges, but it is certainly the reason why I chose to attend the University of Portland and I have not looked back. The community extends far and wide! The Alumni come back to campus regularly to give advice to students. They also invite students out to their work for job shadows. The soccer games are where every student crams on the bleachers and cheers their absolute loudest for their lady pilots!

I love how the University of Portland is small yet you never feel like you are being enclosed in. It has a great sense of community and no matter where you are on campus you will always feel warm and welcomed. The courses are challening but that is what makes you more determined to pursue what you want. The professors genuinely care about you and your well being and are available to helpoutside of school for anyone who asks. It is a great place to be for four years. It feels like home.

The academics at this school are very rigorous, a lot more than I imagined. Students are driven and focused here, with a career path mindset. The professors are always willing to give help, whenever a student needs.
