University of Portland Top Questions

As much as it's kind of a small population, this leads to very small class sizes. You will get to know your professors and everyone of them is interested in your success.

The environment is beautiful. It's good for studying, and I like the weather. It rains a lot, but i've lived in the are all my life so I really enjoy it.

There are lots of study abroad opportunities, an emphasis on volunteer programs, access to administration, and to professors.

The best thing about my school is the city that it is in. It is such a wonderful curriculum and has great classes, but by far I love Portland the city the best. I go on coast trips with my friends, and I go shopping at Saturday Market all the time. The people in the city are so ecclectic, and I find lots of volunteer opportunitues. I love the crazy little stores and the eccentric inhabitants.

The location is great. It is easy to get downtown, but while on campus you feel separated from the city. The people here are very welcoming. There is a lot of focus on achieving a professional degree. The community is also small enough so that it is easy to get to know a great deal of the students in your class and in the other classes.

fantastic education. good opportunities to do neat things

I am surprised that this survery does not ask about Studies Abroad. Last year, I was in the year-long program in Salzburg, Austria and it was the most amazing year of my life. UP offers a wide range of exceptional Studies Abroad opportunities and it's the least expensive way to see the world that there is!

The study abroad programs my school offers are amazing! There is financial aid provided to the point where it is actually cheaper to go abroad, which totally changes your life. Also, we have small class sizes so that by the end of the 2nd week of class your professor can remember your name.

The small class sizes and individual attention from professors. I never once felt like I was "just a number" at this school.
