I can honestly say that I have never felt so well taken care of academically. All of the teachers here are dedicated to their job and to the students. They go out of their way to make sure that every student is keeping up with the material. The class sizes are small enough that you become friends with your professor. You get to know them, they get to know you. You form a relationship based not only on learning, but on interaction.

    Very close community, however the people in power (Residence Life) tend to abuse it. The school is very clean and committed. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting; definitely worth the money!

    UP is an amazing place, full of idiosyncratic scholars and the most passionate people you will ever meet. Academics are UP's priorities, and it shows; but UP is good at everything else it does too. I love living here!

    The University of Portland is a great place for students who are serious about the quality of their college education. All of the professors are excellent, the class sizes are small, and there are many resources to help students navigate their way through their chosen degrees and then apply for jobs in their fields of study. The campus is absolutely gorgeous and is only a short bus ride away from downtown Portland.

    Everyone on campus is there to help you succeed and feel at home. The atmosphere is comforting and energetic. The courses all intersect at some point and this allows students to make connections and learn as much as possible through the courses.

    The University of Portland is a lovely small school. It is religious, however it isn't oppressively religious. The professors are competent as well as helpful, a few are downright hysterical.
