Starting College Off Right! I’m officially a PILOT. I left home last Wednesday for the Service Plunge, and it was the best way to start off my college experience. As soon as the Plunge was over, Orientation began. Friday I met my roommate. Classes started Monday, and I had no idea what to expect. It didn’t take long to figure out that the professors here really WANT to help! Each one of my professors has office hours outside of class, where anyone can walk in and ask a question, or just say hello. In only one week I’ve met a bunch of great people. Between classes, socializing, and my job in one of the offices, I was definitely looking forward to the weekend.

part of your educational experience. It puts you at the center of everything: classes, labs, the library, recreational facilities, campus ministry, volunteer service opportunities, movies, concerts, plays, athletic events, and more. And most importantly, living in a residence hall puts you at the center of a community of friends—about 1,600 students choose to live on campus each year, including 95 percent of all freshmen. something for everyone You can choose from a range of options, including Mehling and Fields Halls for women, Christie, Villa Maria, and Schoenfeldt Halls for men, and the co-ed halls, which include Corrado, Kenna, and Shipstad. In every residence, you’ll find familiar faces, classmates, and friends as well as a pastoral resident, so you’ll have no problems finding someone to talk to, study with, or share your late night snack. All halls have chapels, and each also has different features, events, and opportunities. The best way to learn more is to come visit and talk with residents, who can tell you what makes their hall unique. If you’re interested, after your sophomore year you can opt for a townhouse-style residence or join a residence focused on a theme, such as foreign languages or faith and leadership. You can also choose to live in one of the more than 30 University-owned off-campus houses in the safe and quiet neighborhood nearby. close proximity Living in a residence hall also makes it easy to go places. A bus stops by campus about every 30 minutes, and the University also offers shuttles that run frequently between campus and a light rail station, where trains depart for downtown Portland and the airport every 15 minutes. The city of Portland is known for its user-friendly transportation: bike lanes, buses, trains, and street cars help keep people moving.

A great place to live. You’ll soon discover what makes Portland and the state of Oregon such an amazing place to live. Just minutes from campus, you’ll find big-city sophistication and small-town pride. Just outside of Portland, you’ll find an incredible variety of landscapes and recreational activities just waiting to be explored. a world-class city Portland has countless cafés, perfect for studying or simply hanging out, and all types of restaurants, featuring cuisines from around the world. You’ll also find hundreds of locally owned shops selling everything you’ll ever need. If it’s culture you want, Portland’s your town. There’s an incredible music and theater scene, with dozens of playhouses and hundreds of venues for concerts, from arena rock and indie bands to the symphony. More than 100 movie theaters and a cutting-edge film festival make it easy to see big-budget thrillers as well as hard-to-find foreign films. There are also plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors right in the city. Portland boasts 160 parks, from Forest Park, with its miles of bike paths and hiking trails, to the 4,700 acres of Washington Park, featuring scenic running paths, the Oregon Zoo, a rose garden, and a tranquil Japanese garden. a great state If you drive west through the Coast Range mountains, you’ll arrive at the Pacific Ocean, where uncrowded beaches stretch for 362 miles. Along the entire Oregon Coast, you can take long walks, surf, and kayak. To the east is the Columbia River Gorge and Hood River, a hotspot for backcountry adventures, sightseeing, windsurfing, and kiteboarding. Look to the southeast for the impressive view of Mount Hood, an 11,235-foot wonder that is a year-round destination for skiers, snowboarders, hikers, and backpackers. Beyond the mountains, you’ll discover the bright sun and wide-open spaces of Oregon’s high-desert ranchlands. To the south lies the Willamette Valley, where you can take the bike out and explore winding country lanes. Continue east and the Cascade Mountains line the valley, offering endless hiking and camping choices. With so much to explore in Oregon, the hardest part might be choosing which adventure to have first.

After a busy week, the weekend was a much needed break from academics. It started off at Mississippi Pizza, a local pizza joint a few miles from campus. The band for the night was the Electric Opera Company, which features many fellow UP students. They’ve put their musical talents to work transforming classical operas to music that has a more mainstream “electric rock” feel. The place was packed. On Sunday, I headed off to Mount Hood with my girlfriend and her sister. We hiked along the Timberline Trail and managed to find some wild blueberries and had a nice lunch next to a mountain stream. Even as a senior, it’s pretty awesome to find new places in the area!
