USM campus
The city campus of USM provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Portland has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. Not only locals study at USM, but also students from other countries. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the culture of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
