Portland State University

Date: May 19 2013
Major: Art & Design Department (This Major's Salary over time)
I decided to take a chance and go to this university despite what almost all my peers and family told me. I should have listened.

The sheer magnitude of misconduct at this school is unforgivable. Firstly, housing has no idea what they are doing and they can not manage themselves or students to any degree of competence. Avoid living on campus as if your life depended on it (which may be a good choice because CPSO are invisible).

One of the most annoying instances of the administration was this year when I was retroactively billed because they gave me the incorrect balance at the start of the term. This was no measly sum either, it was 500$ which all but bankrupted me for the holiday season (because they billed me after about 9 or 10 weeks, in time to place a hold on my account for registration for the following term).

Next is the department I am most associated with, the art and design department. My primary quarrel with it is the curriculum isn't at all standardized. Many art instructors simply talk about what they like for several hours and make projects loosely related to what they think are good ideas. The atrocity of this decision is made visible after about one year of attending when people have yet to learn the concepts of design or even the most basic ideas.
