Hi la....la,
Actually, I've been here for almost 2 years and will go back to Taiwan this summer for good....
Basically, Portland is a very beautiful city and the overall environment is nice and peaceful....many people like it.
I believe that the school you've been to was University of Portland(UP), which is very beautiful and with good ranking among the North-West schools. I think it is a private school and the tuition is kind of expensive.
What major will you be? Under or graduate school?
