University of Portland

I attended classes here for 3 semesters. The campus is beautiful and very good sized. It's easy to get around campus and it's very peaceful. Most professors I worked with were very good and I did well. It is very expensive to attend this school even though I had a scholarship. The forced meal plans are very annoying. I have medical issues and I could not eat any of the food made on this campus. I was still forced to pay for the cheapest meal plan and could not get a refund or have the funds transferred to the next semester. They didn't offer any programs I wanted to take which is fine I didn't realize what I wanted to major in. If you want to go here this school is very good for medical and nursing majors. The biggest problem I had was the culture. I come from a very religious state and was hoping to go to a school that is normal. This was not the case here. It's a very religious school with annoying religious rules. I made 0 friends and was constantly harassed by other people in my dorm. Overall the school is fine in every way and wonderful if you are a rich religious medical student.

My experience at the school was fine. Nothing review-worthy. However, after becoming an alumni, I would never recommend anyone go here. The first time I needed a transcript was shortly after graduating over 10 years ago. Something went wrong (I don't remember what) and I had to physically go in to the registrars office to get it fixed. Now today, I've spent over 3 hours on the phone, a zoom call, and email, and ultimately was told I have to pay for an official transcript, even though I only need an unofficial one. You see, apparently my 11 year old account is "so old", it doesn't exist in their new security system, and no one in IT knew how to get me access to my account to request an unofficial transcript. So I called the registrars office. They are literally the office in charge of my information. Surely they can send it to me. No. They "legally" can only send an official transcript. And no, they won't waive the fee. I'm not really upset about $8.50. But let this be a warning to all who consider going here: you'll be at this school for a few short years. You'll be potentially applying for jobs that will need transcripts for the next 30 years. They will update their system many times throughout, your information will not transfer over smoothly, and they will not step a toe out of line to help you. (BTW, it took 2 minutes to get my transcript from my other university).

The school is quite far from Portland downtown; however, the environment is really great. It is quite and huge that i believe students can study and enjoy the study time peacefully.

Very clean campus, nice neighborhood, safe,nice school from the drive around i did

Beautiful complex, facilities are very nice, seating is half n half padded chairs and half aluminum bleachers. Disabled friendly.

Getting anything done with the administration of this school is like pulling teeth, putting them back in, letting them heal, and then pulling them back out again. All of their platforms are not very user friendly.

Stayed here for the Summer Conference and had a blast. Got to be closer to God and the people I love in a fun way. The campus is big and beautiful! I even saw a basketball player there who is 7 ft tall in the cafeteria! I can't wait to come back again.

Our oldest son is getting ready to attend UP in the fall. Every interaction we have with folks there is wonderful. The campus is beautiful. The people are gracious and encouraging. The way every faculty member speaks about the intersection of academic pursuits and real world living makes me hopeful for my son's future vocation.

Grounds are always well maintained and beautiful! I love this place. It feels like home.

This place is usually fantastic but I recently came here for a graduation and I was not happy with how they organized the event. It took forever to get into the building and took even longer to get out of the building. They should designate a meeting area for graduates and families that is away from the building and not directly in front. It was pure chaos. You can do better.

Took me in after a tumultuous 2 years working towards my associates and offered a more generous scholarship than my GPA alone would have gotten me. …

it is about 15 mins drive from downtown, the atmosphere is really great. It is quite and big that i believe students can study and enjoy the study time peacefully.

Lovely, but foggy, catholic school campus set on bluff above the Willamette. UP is gorgeous and timeless. The original (renovated) University of Columbia building is a must see, as is the chapel and the belltower. The school itself is a good one, but you can find reviews of their academics and athletics elsewhere.

Just came by to take a look at the campus along with some of my friends who are alumni at UP, but from what I saw of the campus this place is beautiful! Set in the northern section of Portland, the campus looks like it went through a bunch …

Took my younger daughter to tour the school. She ended up registering during visitation day! We are very confident and loved the atmosphere, staff member, their challenging courses and the soccer field; everyone was very helpful. We are looking forward to visit Oregon often now!

UP is a great school academically. We have some of the best professors in the country and the classes are really great. Unfortunately there are several things that make me wish I hadn't chosen UP as my college: …
