University of Portland is a welcoming community, full of passionate professors and friendly students. The university's commitment to a full education of student (mind, heart, and soul) makes this school unique. I love UP!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Go in for a prospective student tour/interview. Even if you are already admitted to the school, this interview helped me to understand UP better and made my college decision easier. Plus, you get a free t-shirt!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Prepare to be challenged. Professors are more than willing to help you outside of class-- and with small class sizes and no T.A.'s, forming a personal relationship with them is very easy. There are many outside resources for academics as well.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
No partying, quiet hours are respected, and a ton of fun is had. Great R.A.'s and dorm activities.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
95% of the food served is certified organic, and with a sushi bar, 4 coffee places on campus, and great Mac and Cheese, the food is superb. Many choices for allergies/gluten-free/vegetarian etc.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Portland is a great city! Full of arts, sports, and VooDoo donuts!
UP also has tons of activities and tons of service opportunities!
