University of Portland Top Questions

Describe the students at University of Portland.

Shelby

My classmates at University are dedicated to their studies, involved in the school and community, and provide UP with the energy and school spirit that makes it great.

Carmen

My classmates are awesome; they are very friendly and very accepting. I enjoy meeting new people each semester, everyone is generally very friendly and open. I can't describe them in one sentence because they are just too awesome for one sentence.

Marcus

My classmates are outgoing, smart, and always willing to help out.

Claire

The stereotype of hipsters in the NW is very apparent at UP. Don't worry though, if you don't fall into this category (I do not) you will be fine. Most people wear jeans, vans, Northface rain jackets, hoodies, and for some reason the nurses find it necessary to dress up everyday. Lots of people wear sweats too and this is totally acceptable. Most students are from WA or OR with a large handful from CA. It is rare that there will be someone from the midwest or east coast.

Heather

Most of my classmates were focused, intelligent, dedicated, intense, and nice people. They were willing to join study groups, but were completely focused on how well they do in the course. Most of my classmates were science majors, which means that they are very intense individuals. They know that they must do their best at all times in order to get their perfect grade. This makes sense because most of my classmates were planning on graduate school.
