There are many student associations one can join. All around the year, all these student associations hold events, Cultural, festivals etc. There are also many options for students to take part in extracurricular activities like sports, art, nature outings etc. Almost every week, PSU hosts meet and greet activities with art and coffee, which is a very good way of making new friends and getting a good exposure.

There are many accommodation options if one chooses to live outside the campus. Apartments rent houses, which can be used as sharing as that would be the most feasible option. The average rentals would range from 450-600 dollars, depending upon the place of stay.

I lived in a sorority house and it was all managed by a house mom and she took care of literally everything besides the cooks who managed the food expenses and prep. It was a very great experience I would recommend it.

Beautiful campus with a very diverse population of people, this school offered the courses I wanted to take as a college student. The faculty was incredible in their teachings and the rec was stunning. The community was very accepting of those who are different because it is a liberal city.

The main reason was that I really wanted to be in Portland, Oregon and Portland State University is the only public university in Portland. I really liked their biology program and their sustainability program too. The school also had a relationship with Oregon Health & Science University where I wanted to attend graduate school.

Easy going and friendly, we have rec centre here with swimming pool, gym and bouldering amenities. Also a separate space for dancing and yoga plus meditation

Rent: 400-500, expenses:100-200, a church gives free stuff here every week
