  1. (Translated by Google) Here we are talking about the Farmer’s Market.
    The place that pioneered the Farmer’s Market
    Many people can be seen enjoying music and conversation as well as buying …

  2. This University is performing disciplinary action towards someone who’s intentionally fake and absurd papers were published as fact.

  3. Not much to say about this place. Its located at the end of the yellow and green max line. Or the beginning which ever way your going. Its also next to the freeway on and off ramp.

  4. The red-headed stepchild of the Oregon University System and largest university on the state. Manages to have some really great and interesting things, despite its many flaws.

  5. This is what happens when administrators with no backbone give way to grievance politics students who have no idea what they’re talking about. Disgraceful. Intersectional feminism is unscientific and authoritarian.

  6. I feel very interesting about the campus, on one side it looks like a shopping mall outlet and from another side of the entrance it looks like an estate, oh such an interesting campus, but things look much better when I walk inside of it

  7. Why does this University push ideologies that physically spoil the very city it’s in? A teacher like John McWhorter would last a few days there.

  8. Great school, however parking is very limited and expensive. Be prepared to either get there early or maybe consider trimet. Other than that nothing but good experiences.

  9. Went here for 4 years. Pretty satisfied with my time. Degree is going well for someone that wasn’t involved in school activities. Great location of course.

  10. If you are low income or not a scholarship student, YOU ARE ONLY A REVENUE STREAM =, NOTHING ELSE. EXPECT LITTLE ASSISTANCE, THERE IS BETTER TUTORING AND WRITING AND MATH ASSISTANCE AT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT GO TO …

  11. Beautiful campus, amazing vibe, and they are getting ready to thrive. No other place will make you feel so alive. Just check it out, and you will always be surprised! #Goviks #Raidandsurvive #Hulksmash 💙❤️🖤💚💛💜👊 …

  12. PSU has one motivation – that’s your money.
    They will nickel and dime you to death with fees.
    Look elsewhere for a quality education from educators
    not profit hounds.

  13. A totally totally anti-man institution. Especially that of the white variety. If you want to undergo some serious major oppression as a white man in terms of both how you’re looked at and treated; come to PSU. Whether I’d be by campus cops, …

  14. Facilities are out dated (not having any outlets for 130 people in a computer coding class) and setting up financial aid has been absurdly difficult. Never going to another university after this experience.

  15. Not worth it, small campus, very disorganized, bad housing, not enough classes to accommodate students. I attended two semesters and decided to transfer. Portland is beautiful though.

  16. They turn down veterans trying to use their GI Bill to gain a higher education. Based SOULY on HIGHSCHOOL Transcripts that are almost a decade old. They didn’t even give me an opportunity to turn in any other transcripts including the smart …

  17. PSU approved Hitler’s mein kampf when it was rewritten using SJW buzzwords. PSU is obviously guilty of promoting SJW ideologies which as all sensible people know is a detriment to all society and the stability of the entire world. Don’t support a university that’s attempting to profit off the exploitation of easily influenced people.

  18. I did not attend college here, but I have been to several events hosted by the program board and have had nothing but positive interactions. Campus is nicely laid out and in a great part of Portland.

  19. I already have a degree from an east coast university and I am attending a post-baccalaureate program. I am an adult student and I am treated with utter disrespect. Clearly, I am a just viewed as a dollar sign for these people, educators …

  20. Am I the only person having difficulty registering for classes?! It should be as simple as “do this, do that.” I’m taking yet another semester off from school, because of technical difficulties. Awesome, more of my life going to waste! Extremely dissatisfied.

  21. a certain instructor at PSU blatantly favors whites who come from upper class families over all of his other students, to the point where it is unacceptable. Failing students, and purposely attempting to belittle them based solely on their …

  22. I was allowed to take only 2 classes as a returning student in civil engineering. I ended up dropping the second one due to illness and the fact that the instructor was: almost always unprepared for class, childish, did not cover the …

  23. Good school downtown portland which focuses on 1st generation college kids. The enrollment is huge and iv heard the graduation rate isnt great. But the facilities are good and the support staff are awesome.

  24. As far as the housing for Broadway goes… Terrible. The rules are very limiting, and water pressure is even worse. They hav only 2 elevators that break down every week and 2 sets of stairs where you can only go down and not up. This forces …

  25. Loved my experience at PSU. Their School of Business and the structure of how they put together an education is amazing! 20 years later I would still choose to go there.

  26. . They literally shut down an event for a leading presidential candidate. I could not believe it. I love Portland as a city/nature. The restaurants are great also. But people should have a right to express their speech when renting a room and not being shut down. That was unacceptable and a formal statement was not given.

  27. PSU is a joke of a school. I had an incomplete on my transcript, which should have been an A, in a required class that took THREE YEARS of back and forth emailing with the professor, advisors, and the department chair. They put their students through bureaucratic hell.

  28. I have to take classes to keep my license up to date and while I have had no problems with the classes I’ve taken through PSU, I have had HUGE problems with Student Financial Services, to the point where I will no longer take a class if …

  29. Please believe others online who have knocked PSU’s joke of an administration and claimed they never received a decision from this ‘university’. The admissions office is a NIGHTMARE and no one has any idea of what PSU’s policies are or how …

  30. Be considerate of where you park. It is super expensive, especially when you get a ticket. The Portland State University Transportation department are brutal to deal with. Even when you purchase a ticket and park in the designated area, …

  31. Hey, do you value your financial aid? Do you value your time? Then don’t go here. The financial aid office is run by people who could care less when you get your refund because the longer they put it off, the sooner someone else will do it …

  32. PSU Professor: “Repeal the Stupid Second Amendment” Is this what we pay top dollars for our citizen’s to receive. Marxist indoctrination by your liberal professors? An above average university used to be one that guides students to …

  33. PSU has, as many Universities do now, some absurd requirements to graduate. Taking random classes to create revenue for this for profit business. The chemistry department implemented a “POGIL” method for learning which averaged a 56% mean …

  34. A program of diversity for admissions is aggressively pursued. However, the special programs to meet the needs of minority students are not being met. Lack of sensitivity training of the staff is endemic in many of the activities of the …

  35. There is little guidance at PSU. There is not a clear “plan of action” or assistance navigating the highly departmentalized aspects of attempting to register, fund, and communicate with the college. I ended up leaving and voting with my …

  36. Portland State University is a good school but it lacks diversity. The financial aid office is sub-par too. If you want to save money, I would suggest applying. The admission process is a little drawn out (it took me 3 months to receive my …

  37. A debt trap full of core, cluster and inquiry classes you shouldn’t need, all held at the same time. Various majors have instructors just ditching or classes just dropped for no reason so it seems like you’ll never get out. And the majority …

  38. I will soon be graduating summa cum laude, this is not a brag, it is a testament to the low standards at PSU. There’s zero funding to the arts program (which is a sad joke in itself). Most credits that should be transferable aren’t. The …

  39. PSU is a mixed bag. Really good teachers, but also really bad teachers. The university studies program is a joke. If you get a bachelors degree in anything besides art history or liberal studies, you will have to take these inquiry …

  40. nice campus and sport… lot of weekend feature and a nice courtyard and library. I visit there while my kids getting their education there… I don’t know the it that much, but buildings are nice and lot of improvement projects keep the place up to date.

  41. I have been attending PSU for ~6 years now. That’s right, I’m taking far too long to complete my degree but that’s beside the point. The school as a whole has its problems such as class sizes that are too large, but the mechanical engineering program has taught me a great deal and landed me an internship with a great company.

  42. I graduated in 2012 and am well on my way to a successful career already. I largely attribute this to my time at Portland State. PSU offers absolutely everything that a student needs to thrive in university. Challenging professors, diverse …

  43. It is ok. The campus is huge but has a lot of transportation. Food and coffee always available. Social life is decent. Lots of clubs. The way it is run though leaves some to be desired.

  44. Portland State University is one of the most diverse university in Oregon that I know of. The location is perfect for someone who likes living in the city. Everything is walking distance (mall, grocery store, gym, etc). There is also a lot …

  45. I just finished my first quarter at PSU and so far it has its ups and downs. I was stuck with a very unambitious professor and one that had never taught before. However, this did not tarnish my experience. This campus is filled with some of …

  46. Our daughter gas attended PSU for 2 years. I enjoy the way the university is integrated into down town Portland. The school itself is widely diversified. Wonderful school of business and art po programs.

  47. I attend PSU to pursue a accounting certificate so I can sit in the CPA test. I already have a bachelor degree from another university. The professors here are generally nice. The classes are educative and informative which I enjoy. But the …

  48. Once I applied fro PSU, and submitted my transcripts as a transfer student, I literally received my accepted admission email (not only are the school colors green, they have gone green) 4 days later, and on a Sunday at that. Some people …

  49. Portland State was and is a stellar place for Education. Highly reccommend having highschoolers go through PCC if they are interested in Education. That way they can get an Early Childhood Degree at one of a few colleges that are Nationally …

  50. Anything to do with administration (payments, billing, registration, application) is consistently a nightmare. Their website systems are hard to navigate, find information, register, really anything. Charges and fee’s get included when …

  51. I have had nothing but headaches from this school. While tuition is average for university the extra fees are outrageous, parking is absurd and classes are taught for student schedules only. I understand that I am an older student at 28 …

  52. I first engaged with PSU as an MBA student in 2004. After looking at all graduate programs in the Portland region, PSU stood out due to its academic rigor and its connection to the community. I was hoping for significant Professor …

  53. When I went back to Portland State University in the middle of the last decade. I was lucky enough to have new dorms and big athletic budgets. Today, it’s a crying shame what had happened to the faculty and staff of Portland State …

  54. My Alma Mater and a great place to go to school. You definitely have to work hard and there is a lot of self motivation if you can’t find the right teachers but I was lucky enough to have some great professors here and really enjoyed my …

  55. I have been a student here for a very long time (too long). Almost every professor I had was excellent and passionate about their job. And the one that wasn’t was still a very kind person. I really cannot complain about the people here at …

  56. As Universities go, mediocre to no community campus life during shutdown. This is not critical of PSU’s academics, since I’m not a student just an adjoining neighbor.

  57. Like a Kafka novel. I was dual-enrolled here and at PCC. They made a reporting error that threatened my financial aid. I needed one (1) signature on a form to restore my aid. The financial aid office told me they will process it “within a …

  58. Definitely an above average university that is built in the heart of Portland. Simply walking around the campus is a pleasure. They offer great majors specially in engineering. Most, if not all, of the professor have great attitudes and care about their students education. So far I have been loving this university.

  59. Great inner city college campus. Feels secluded, special, and open when you’re walking through the campus. Very easy access to great Portland amenities.

  60. I went here for a campus visit. It was so cool. Very diverse student body, Public transit is pretty nice and not what you think of for public transit. It is so green, and the university is incorporated into downtown Portland. Portland …

  61. Boston and Bay Area offer great schools but my most enjoyable academic experience was right here at PSU. A fine school in a marvelous city in a fabulous state. It doesn’t get better than this.

  62. I am currently a freshman attending Portland State University and I can honestly say it’s not what I expected, but not necessarily in a bad way. Being in downtown Portland the campus is much different from the average 4-year universities’ …

  63. This was a wonderful place to continue my education. I consistently had professors that were able to engage with their students and generally went above and beyond to help them. They are consistently upgrading the buildings improving the …

  64. I really want to say some good things about PSU. However, the only thing I do like is the food at the dinning hall.
    Besides that, everything else is terrible. I have been waiting for my diploma …

  65. I had to quit because of their public speaking requirement. I’m a disabled veteran. I am diagnosed with social phobia, among others. The DRC was pointless since I didn’t have an IEP in high school. The advisors for the major were …

  66. PSU is the site of the Saturday Farmers Market, the best I’ve ever been to anywhere ever. Gorgeous produce, tasty hot foods, amazing flowers, cool varieties of meats, homemade cheeses and other items – gourmet popcorn, flavored honeys…. …

  67. Lazy, horrible customer service at every level. Counselors regularly give out wrong information. One counselors told me I needed 4 credits to graduate when I needed 8 and had to delay my graduation. Instructors are just plain lazy. One …

  68. Lincoln Hall on the PSU campus is a great, intimate venue for chamber music concerts, plays, and other small-scale productions. Quite decent accoustics, excellent sight lines from all seats, and very comfortable seating as well. Go!

  69. I graduated from here. It’s a decent school but I had few suspect instructors. The campus is awesome with being in a city atmosphere. Portland city government needs to figure out helpful options to cut down the number of tents popping up on the streets and sidewalks. Government sponsored jobs for homeless?

  70. I use to love Portland State University but Michael Roche completely changed that for me. He was completely unprofessional and downright nasty when I was trying to ask for help as a veteran looking to go back to school. It’s hard to look past an experience like that.

  71. I went to the campus that is located in Beaverton and they are a building off site of the campus but have a Transit center right directly across from the campus making it very convenient for anyone that would like to take that versus …

  72. It was such a beautiful day I had gone to Sheridan’s Market. Which, I have to say, is one of the best places I’ve found in Portland since moving here 8 years ago. I decided to go and sit under the trees in the Park blocks. I read the first …

  73. As someone who graduated in 2016, I can tell that the tuition increased immensely from my first year in 2011. Fees increased quarter after quarter, year after year. And lots of odd fee categories were added, ex building fee. …

  74. It was interesting to open a market for fresh fruits and vegetables in college.
    It looked small on the outside, but there are far more than 100 schools.
    There were not many students on vacation.
    I bought Viking-shaped pitches as a souvenir.

  75. University Hotel/ Viking House, very nice, very clean, very friendly folks , pool, excersize room, you won’t be disappointed, series 100-200-300 rooms…City of Roses…

  76. Went here to see a friend who did a grad study. I was impressed with how green and well designed the campus was. Its a peaceful enclave located very near from downtown.

  77. I wouldn’t recommend the applied health degree. Be prepared to learn about how wage and resource disparity adversely affects your health and have to continue living in it. This degree alone will not elevate you economically. I feel I was misled about the opportunities available to a graduate with this degree.
