Good place, you have to take a bus or a car though if you want to get into downtown PDX. Great options on campus though if you cannot get off it.

I loved this school! Almost graduated from another school in a different state. I totally wasn't prepared to start my career. After finishing U of P I felt confident and prepared to start and excel at my new career. Thanks U of P for the pragmatic instruction!!

No global training for staff or faculty regarding minorities and diversity. One priest was overhead telling a staff member they acted, "Too black." Obvious sexist pay and treatment inequities for employees. Students not encouraged to think for themselves but, rather, to conform.

There's a nonzero amount of times per week I regret coming to this school. Big picture working down:
- It's located in Portland. BIG thumbs down
- Anything other than nursing is "meh" at best
- Food is borderline awful and overpriced while being on a points system
- 0 campus activity. Weekends nights and the campus is dead
- Clubs are uninteresting
