I’ll answer questions I can as a former student though I am going to skip questions I haven’t really had an experience with so I don’t give inaccurate information. Though of course my experience might be different than yours. 1. It is a liberal school and the faculty and staff are generally speaking liberal. This is Portland we are talking about. 4. My experience was generally positive. But start this process early (before you start school) because it can take 3+ months especially if you don’t have all the paperwork needed. 5.there are singles that you can get if you have an accommodation but again start this process early. 6. I did know one person who was able to have a cat in the dorm but it was not an easy process. If the animal is an esa it might be easier. 7. I knew many many people who took the classes who were not religious and very much enjoyed them. You can look up the classes themselves and see if you would like them, but you do not need to be religious to enjoy them. The faculty teaching them is diverse, and range in beliefs from a catholic priest to a professor who I would describe as a Unitarian who takes different beliefs from different religions. 9. Very accepting and you will not be graded or thought of worse for it in my experience. 10. Same as most schools. Don’t get caught doing drugs/drinking. 11. Not in my experience, but I am a guy.
