Living and Learning in Portland

Often referred to as PDX, Portland is a major city with small town charm. Known for its sustainability, start-up culture, and arts scene, Portland is also proud of its “weird” status. There’s so many quirky and one-of-a-kind places and events that make visiting and living here incredibly enjoyable.   

Learning here is also exciting. One of the West Coast’s biggest business centers, Portland offers art, design and business students access to internships, jobs and professional networks.

Exploring Portland

From the downtown city skyline to serene parks and from famous bookstores and doughnut shops, there’s so much to see and do.
