Portland

Portland is known as one of the most livable and one of the safest cities in the world and is consistently ranked as bike friendly, kid friendly, earth friendly, and the list goes on ... Portland is a city you will want to call home. From greenspaces and green landscapes, to arts and culture, to professional sports, to the coffee (yes, we drink a lot of it here), Portland is innovative and invigorating. What's best is that when you have had enough of city living and need a break the sandy beaches of the Pacific Coast, the snowy peaks of Mt. Hood, and the white-capped waves and gusts of wind of the Columbia River are all within a 90 minute drive.

We think, as do our 1,900 students, that Portland is the place to go to school. Great places to eat, trails to hike and bike, shops to frequent, live concerts to go to, river's edges to stroll, and a campus that is close to it all.
