Portland State University Top Questions

At Portland State University, my classmates

They are unique and creative.

My classmates, especially within my program of study, were often very inquisitive, progressive, diverse, and interesting!

My classmates in college are, overall, caring, kind, willing to help each other succeed in the class, fun, happy, supportive, and intellectual.

The students at Portland State are motivated to make a change, and are extremely welcoming of newcomers.

PSU is very diverse! I walk around campus and hear at least three different languages being spoken. We live in a very liberal and green city. Generally we are a very excepting community, and if anything comes up usually the city reacts like a peaceful walk or vigil. Right now there is more of a "hipster" trend going on and people's style choices in portland are very diverse as well. On halloween you can't always be sure if someone is wearing a costume, or if that's what they look like on a daily basis. But it's really helped me grow and get a deeper understanding of cultural differences and since I'm a International Studies major I totally dig that! PSU is one of least expensive public schools in oregon, and it attracts people from all different financial backgrounds.

This school is filled with diversity, which in my case I enjoy because you get to live and be around the different cultures that are out there. You'll almost always find every kind of student here at PSU. Most students either dress up or wear sweats and a sweatshirt to class. The typical groups you'll find in the dining hall are the athletes, the kid who likes to stay to him/herself, the hipsters, and just the average joes. Most students who attend PSU are from surrounding cities or from International cities.

My classmates are helpful, resourceful, and regular college students just like me.

PSU has quite a diverse population. A large percentage of this population consists of an older crowd. There are also a ton of international students (the majority of which are Asian).

my classmates are all unique, each one is like a snow falke.
