I love the campus, with the natural beauty it provides and the friendly people, it is truly an amazing place to live at. The university is located on a bluff so there are amazing views of the city of Portland. There are many things to do on campus such as intramurals, clubs, volunteering and fun events that are free of charge. Although I am a freshman I am secretary for Latin Dance Club. I have a lot of fun learning dance techniques. Recently,I participated in a performance for Diversity Week. As a member of M.E.Ch.A., I am involved in events that promote equality and justice. On the other hand, Chapel choir allows me to share my love of music by singing during mass. I've met great people while being involved in these clubs. With city life only minutes away, UP provides the best of both worlds.

People are friendly, and there are all sorts of on campus activities that you can hang out at with your new friends. Every Saturday the RAs put on Pilots After Dark events. Past activities have included foam parties, art nights, and dances. The dorms do events, too; this past year mine had an international food night and a speed friending event, among other things. CBP organizes dances and coffehouses (last semester we had Meg and Dia!). CBP is also responsible for Espresso UP, which is a weekly hangout with free coffee, tea, and Italian sodas. All that is just the on campus stuff. Once you venture out into the city of Portland, there are tons of things to do. I won't list them all here, but highlights include Powell's Books, Voodoo Doughnuts, and Saturday Market.

I love this school! There is always something fun going on whether its a school wide activity, something put on by an organization (such as Outdoor Pursuits), or a dorm activity. You can truly find something that you are interested in. The students and staff of the University of Portland are some of the nicest and friendliest people, and truly make the experience that more special.

Honestly the food is not the most delicious but it is edible and they never run out so who's complaining. On another side the beds are super hard but at least I can place my coffee next to my computer and never worry about spills. What I can say on a positive note is that the students and staff are extremely nice and helpful people. It is a gorgeous campus and students should spend time out doors anyway. Don't stay locked in the dorm, it's depressing. Overall I really do like my temporary home.
