Campus Beauty is Just the Beginning

University of Portland sits atop a picturesque hilltop overlooking the city, affectionately known as "The Bluff" in our campus community. There are so many amazing things to do right here in our University Park neighborhood, but in Oregon you're never far from the experience of a lifetime. From the ocean to the mountains with lush forests in between, you're going to love visiting when you join the Pilot family.

Going UP?

Go farther and dream bigger than you ever thought possible. Join a community that's on a mission to change the world for the better. New experiences are waiting.
