    I've never felt more comfortable or safe anywhere else. Portland is kind of a weird place, so it's alright to be different here. It's practically normal, really.

    I can't say anything about the Rock Creek or Cascade campuses, having never set foot on them, but I can say that the Sylvania campus is quite lovely. They seem to have an affinity for concrete, but it's still pretty nice. The library at Sylvania is quite large, as is the College Center. The Southeast center isn't as impressive, but it's in a very convenient place; if you were attending any of the local high schools, you'll have no problem whatsoever getting to Southeast everyday.

    Anyone who doesnt enjoy being in Oregon in the first place is just silly. I come from hell in the flesh, I can't wait to move back here. Ive driven by the college before but have not had the chance to check it out. I applied but am waiting for my transcripts to go through. I'm sure that I will enjoy my experience.
