<p>Any thoughrs?</p>
<p>on academics and campus life please</p>
<p>In recent years U of Portland (not to be confused with Portland State University) has attempted to broaden its regional/national appeal. But I would speculate that places like Willamette University and Lewis & Clark College have more academic strength than UP because of larger endowments.</p>
<p>As for student life on-campus, the women's soccer team is perinially top-ranked in Division I.</p>
