Student Experience FAQs
Where do students live?
We are conveniently located off of the TriMet Max line. Students often rent apartments and houses within the suburbs of Hillsboro and Beaverton along the mass transit line.
What can I do in the area?
Oregon has the best of all worlds! Interested in trying different restaurants and catching a concert? Head into downtown Portland, ranked one of the best “foodie” cities in the country! Enjoy the outdoors? Head to Forest Park and explore over 70 miles of trails or skiing on Mt. Hood.
Is it possible to work while obtaining the degree?
The 27-month program is very fast-paced and rigorous; therefore, we strongly suggest students do not work while they are attending the program. There are work-study opportunities available for those who feel they can balance the workload.
