My favorite thing about Portland is that no matter where you are, or what time it is, you're never farther than about 10 minutes away from a good cup of coffee.
What advice would I give to a student visiting the campus?
"It might seem overwhelming at first – especially when you first walk on campus – but don't be afraid to dive into the community and give it a chance. Take the time to really figure out what you want from this experience!"

My favorite thing about Portland is that it's always new. I've lived here basically my whole life and I still find new and exciting things to do in this city.
What advice would I give to a student visiting the campus?
"Don't be afraid to get involved. I made the mistake of just sitting back and observing on my visit as well as early in my freshman year. Take it from me, college is so much more when you take ownership and actively participate! "

My favorite Warner Pacific memory happens every time someone gets sung Happy Birthday in the dining hall. They always get so embarrassed and red when they get a birthday serenade from their fellow students!
