There were certainly some good teachers but it's not a school that cares about anyone who can't afford to have their parents pay their tuition. Their Egan loans are super predatory (and not federally backed) and they never paused payments during the pandemic. They'll raise tuition every year for no real reason and you will never get more aid. They make a show of charity and community but don't do much local outreach to their community. It's not all bad, the Moreau center people are very kind but as a whole the school makes it clear that they don't care about you or your future. Students are definitely just cash cows to the higher ups and it's sad. I've heard the nursing program is good but if you have thoughts about being anything else you should go somewhere else.
When I was deciding which college to attend, the University of Portland was one of the most intriguing and welcoming schools. I attended in person and online tour guides, and all of the professors and counselors were kind, knowledgeable, and inviting. I felt that I found a community that would support me. Since attending UP, I have found that I was right. I am supported by the people at this school, and there are resources and opportunities to help me succeed in college. I feel happy and motivated to follow my career goals. This is a great school with a supportive, respectful atmosphere.
I loved the people there, everyone was genuinely kind and I met a lot of people that I could relate to. I picked the school because I liked that it was a smaller school so you would have more personal relationships with your professors than at a larger school. I also liked that there was a decent amount of diversity there, so as a POC, it made me feel so much more at home.
Attending the University of Portland provides a rich and fulfilling college experience. As a student, I found the university to have a welcoming and vibrant community that fostered both academic and personal growth.
The professors are knowledgeable and accessible, encouraging active participation and critical thinking. Class sizes are generally small, allowing for meaningful interactions with peers and professors, and facilitating a more personalized learning experience.
One of the highlights of my time at the University of Portland was the strong sense of community. The campus is beautiful, with a close-knit atmosphere that fosters connections among students. The university offers numerous extracurricular activities, clubs, and organizations, providing plenty of opportunities to get involved and make friends with similar interests. The supportive community made it easier to navigate the challenges of college life and created a sense of belonging.

The University of Portland is the perfect environment for me because it feels like my home away from home.
I like the overall community since it's a small school that allows me to connect to many more people. It also allows me to connect more with professors since the class size is between 10-30, and it helps me build a good connection with the professors and do better in my classes
The University of Portland is a great area. I enjoyed the privacy of the busy city since the campus is on an island. The learning experience is amazing and all of the classes are exciting. I would like to see a change in student life.
The staff are very nice overall, they help you a lot during all your process to begin school, starting with your application and even when you are about to start college. They help with every question you have and they give a lot of sources to make easier your transition to college.
They help their students and future students, they have amazing financial aid sources so everyone can afford college. The campus itself it's also amazing, it's a really nice place for the students and visitors, also the dorms are really nice, there are a lot of places inside their campus where students can spend some time to study, have a break, relax, etc.
There are also a lot of different ways to involve in the community and with other students, it's a really diverse community and the students are also really nice, making a warm environment for everyone. You can involve in different ways, like a sport or a cultural club, or even in a religious way.

It is a great university to be at, only downside is the cost honestly. Professors are there to help you learn, community is very welcoming, and there are many opportunities for students to find themselves here at the Bluff
I think I had a good first year at UP. I think its culture and diversity was well seen all over campus, in classrooms, etc. One thing I did wish could be changed is, I wish us students were getting more out of resources on campus for what our tuition is costing us.
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!
The scenery is beautiful and what drew me to go to this university is that it has great science programs and a lot of school spirit.
The school has a wonderful nursing program with a lot of hands on experience and many professors who worked at the bedside or still work at the bedside that offer a lot of amazing personal anecdotes and advice. However, the school is still a private Catholic university with a majority population of cisgender and white students and faculty. Diversity is increasing, but it can be difficult to navigate sometimes.
No parties and no social scene. Everybody who goes here is the same boring asf. Do not go here if u value ur self. Only good thing is some nice trees and ok education ig.
it was a inclinable opptruinty to attend university of Portland, and as first year student majoring on nursing university of portland is a great places for nursing major. there are many resources for stundts to undertand more about the concepts.
I think that UP is a very cohesive, welcoming community. Most professors are very nice and accessible. The courses are not that rigorous in freshman year depending on your major, but UP is very flexible in allowing you to test out of core requirements.
I really enjoyed the close community experience at UP and the focus of their core values being reflected in their courses. I would like to see a bigger community outreach and more school wide events at UP in the future!
UP has given me a wonderful first-year experience. I have met a lot of fun and friendly people, and my experience has shown that the professors are involved and committed to the student which they teach.
The university also uses tuition dollars in very interesting ways, but overall the campus is beautiful and most staff are very lovely.
University of Portland is one of the nicest campuses and it is always well kept up. There are always fun events happening with food trucks and other fun stuff! It is in a safe area of Portland and there is importance placed on safety at campus. Emergency phones are all around campus and there is always security. Lots of fun places to go nearby to get good food or to go thrifting or hiking!
