Portland Life

Welcome to Portland

Portland is known as the City of Roses, Stumptown, Beervana and Rip City. To us, it’s all this and more: A friendly place that balances its busy city life with the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Whether you’re hiking through Forest Park, sailing along the Columbia and Willamette rivers, cycling from a coffee shop to a book store, or watching a show at a historic theatre, you’ll find a myriad of outdoor and cultural activities to do here.

Get Involved

Our campus offers a variety of groups to join, including the UO Portland Student Council and committees within different master’s programs. Outside of campus, you can connect with all sorts of cultural clubs, as well as groups for specific industries.
