Portland State University Top Questions

Campus is in the city with a nice urban feel, easy to get to. There are students from all over the world so you hear different languages practically more than English when walking around. It makes it feel like a bigger city like NY which I like, but Portland itself is good too. There is a big age range..I think the average age is 27 or something, which makes things more interesting. The major thing that bugs me is how short the terms are. It's on the quarter system so the regular school year is 3 10-week terms and they go by really fast.

The best thing about Portland State University is the city itself. Portland is a well planned and beautiful place to be. everything a college student would need is within walking distance. I feel like the PSU campus is the perfect size. i have been to campus' like UW and this school is a lot more walker friendly. Not only is it the right size, but whoever planned the campus is very talented in that the school is part of the city. If it weren't for the signs and Portland State University emblems, you wouldn't even know you were on a school campus. I, personally, love spending time in the Park Blocks. I love that this city and school put a little piece of land aside for nature. If i could change anything it would be the amount of restaurants that accept the PSU meal plan dining dollars. with the exception of that there is really nothing wrong with this beautiful place.
