University of Portland - Private university in Portland - 5000 N Willamette Blvd, USA

University of Portland is a very warm and welcoming community. The staff and professors are friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to help. I have enjoyed the environment and safe campus. Since it is a small school, it caters to those that are looking for a more intimate setting, where counselors, staff, and professors will know your name. I highly recommend University of Portland! I loved the people there, everyone was genuinely kind and I met a lot of people that I could relate to. There was a decent amount of diversity there, so as a POC, it made me feel so much more at home.

The school is quite far from Portland downtown; however, the environment is really great. It is quite and huge that i believe students can study and enjoy the study time peacefully.

it is about 15 mins drive from downtown, the atmosphere is really great. It is quite and big that i believe students can study and enjoy the study time peacefully.

I attended this university for two years before COVID. Firstly, the good, the campus is beautiful, the social atmosphere is GREAT and you get a chance to actually know your professors. Now, the bad, during my time there, there were many students who left for reasons of affordability alone. This school often says they care about you, but I doubt it is true. I asked the financial aid office if they could provide any additional assistance, as both my parents had lost their jobs due to COVID. They didn't even bother replying. The also evicted all the students illegally when COVID started, giving us only a few days notice when Oregon requires at least 10 days notice. Lastly, the academics, the majority of my high school academics were more rigorous than the business school here. My hardest classes were theology classes. For the amount you have to pay, dont go here, go to PSU, and get a similar experience for half the cost.

The IELP program is bad,because they ignore the student’s questions.The program is not suitable for students who want to learn easily.They offer many tests and exams, all you can learn is how to take the test !so if you guys just want to learn temporary term.please do not choose here!! The adviser won’t help you~they would tell you ‘just to tell your professor’ Also I spent much money for this IELP,I take the class in person,but the class is still online??

Absolutely loved my time at UP. I looked at a LOT of different schools in the NW, but chose this one. The campus is beautiful, especially in the Spring. The teachers are excellent. The class sizes are small. The courses are challenging. Fellow students are intelligent and social. And the soccer games are a blast to watch. When I think back on my time here, there is very little that I remember as negative. If you're non-religious, like me, then the Catholic element of the school can feel a bit restricting at times, but I felt it allowed me to explore spirituality in a way that a non-religious school could not have done. Since I've left, it sounds like things have only gotten better. They have remodeled the Engineering building (where I spent 90% of my time, senior year), as well as the cafeteria. I'm actually back for my MBA at UP now and I am reminded again why I love this school.

Took me in after a tumultuous 2 years working towards my associates and offered a more generous scholarship than my GPA alone would have gotten me. I enrolled in E-Scholars which was the best decision of my college career, aside from attending here in the first place :) What would I improve: Offer more resources and programs to integrate transfer students into the UP community. Freshman orientation gets a lot of attention, as it should, I would like to see a similar effort for transfer students.

I really enjoyed my experience here and in the city of Portland. The small class sizes were a great fit for me and the professors, by and large, were incredible and supportive and worked hard to maintain a high level of academic rigor to help me hone my critical thinking skills. Additionally, the size of the campus is excellent for getting around on foot and there is a really nice view of the river from the edge of campus. This is also an exciting time for the school because they have recently renovated the library and have also just completed the new student center.
