Review of Portland State University

from Portland, OR

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Depending on how much you apply yourself you can really learn a lot. You learn from everyone and about everything, very interesting approach to teaching here.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Campus is diverse and has something for everyone. Tons of clubs and groups to join, music in the park and is in the heart of downtown so everything is within walking distance.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

While they aren't 100% streamlined in all processes, this school really tries to give you what you need, and tailor your education to your specific goals.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you choose this school, don't overload yourself with courses in your first term. You will want to only take about 12 credits (that is full time) to give yourself time to get used to studying AND to be free to explore the city and campus.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

adventurous, dedicated, passionate, those who believe in a cause, those who want to a school that focuses on education and does not revolve around its sports teams, those who like the city and those looking for new experiences.
