I
really enjoyed the quality of education I had at Portland
Community. I went to the Sylvania campus, which was beautiful,
had wonderful professors, and had by far the best course
selection. It was a very enjoyable experience from an academic
standpoint. I moved to Portland for my first year of
college to try it out and see what the city
was all about, and to be honest, I hated it.
Portland is not the place for you if you're from
a fast paced, east coast setting like I was, or
if you're involved in political science for the bigger picture.
I found that the students, much more so than the
staff, adopted a know-it-all attitude, and refused to see the
world past Portland. Portlanders are very snobby when it comes
to their city, which isn't all that great to begin
with. Plus, there was about zero diversity in the college,
but being as the state of Oregon is 93% white,
that's not surprising. That just really bothered me, especially since
everyone was preaching tolerance, whilst ignoring the fact that there
was very little diversity. All in all, a great place
to go for academics, and a great place to be
if you're a Portlander through and through. East coasters...go to
Seattle.

Responses People can be tolerant without living in a really diverse community. It's not like Portland is so "white" because Portlanders shun non-white people or anything like that. I really think your comments in this regard were condescending and useless. Portland accepts diversity, and when I was studying in Portland I met a lot of people with diverse backgrounds. Maybe you just didn't realize that some of those white people you were looking at and judging were actually Lithuanian, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, German, etc.? Because Portland receives a lot of immigration from those countries and I occasionally heard those languages spoken all around town. I think it's you who is obsessed with race in a negative way, and not Portlanders who preach tolerance despite not living in whatever holy east coast city you come from. |
