UP is a solid university to attend. However, it is extremely expensive and even if you get decent financial aid, it is hard to afford unless you come from wealth. Diversity is decent; food is pretty subpar after Bon Appetite became the new catering service. Professors are almost always amazing, even in "bad" subjects. There are student research opportunities available. Lots of ways to get involved on/off campus. This is NOT a party school. Athletics program is amazing. Stuff to do near campus. Campus Safety is okay, but nothing amazing. Often times student concerns will be blown off. Overall, I would recommend University of Portland if you can afford it and want to focus on academics; NOT the "college experience" (aka partying).
Although the food may need some improvement, the overall academic system excelled my expectations. I am enrolled in the School of Nursing and every teacher's teaching methods is worth mentioning. There may be completely different teaching styles, but as long as I contribute to my part as a student then my learning experience is exceptional.
The academics of the school are amazing. I was in the nursing program and it was well thought out and interesting. But day to day the school consistently disappointed me. The food is HORRIBLE, the administration does not care at all and actively told students that their concerns were invalid, and the residence life is poor. There is NO party scene.
