Student Experience FAQs
Where do students live?
We are conveniently located in Forest Grove, Oregon. Students often rent apartments and houses within the suburbs of Forest Grove or Hillsboro.
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. We are also only an hour away from the Oregon Coast!
Is it possible to work while obtaining the degree?
The 2-year 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.
