Most Helpful Review for Portland State University

When it comes to how much you learn I believe that it is up to you to take classes that are interesting and a little bit challenging, because the classes that are easy tend to get boring and not teach you as much.

    I think Portland State University is an upcoming university. It has a lot to offer in terms of research experience opportunities that larger universities are difficult to gain. Additionally, there is a strong diversity of students coming from all walks of life.

    Well rounded student body is present on campus. Being an urban campus, everything is within walking distance. Don't try and depend on street parking though.

    On a scale of 1-10, I give PSU a 10. I really feel at home and well connected to the campus. This university's main focus is their students.

    Portland State is a nice college that has wonderful staffs; they're so helpful and kind to me. In the first term of college i was so confused and got lost many times, but i could feel the warmth and everyone in a cold weather when they try to help me. Every thing is hard in the first time, yet it would be better and people are out there to support; Portland State is one of supportive places.

    The motto of Portland, OR is Keep Portland Weird! So of course Portland State University is no exception. Located in the heart of downtown it is an urban campus but is seated on the beautiful Portland Park Blocks.

    Nice city school with a lot of diversity. Plenty of student groups and commuting options. Not too many alternative schedules for courses.
