University of Oregon vs. Portland State

[Craftyspeechie]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to see if anyone else had anthing to share regarding these 2 programs. I've already accepted my offer to U of O a few weeks ago but was recently taken off the waitlist for Portland State. Can anyone offer any advice or insight on which program to choose? I'd like to know: 1) quality of life in the city 2) quality of program 3) cost of living in the city 4)professor approachability 5) exposure to early intervention (my main area of interest). I do prefer small town life and easy access to nature and hiking trails. Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated. ?

I tell people to drive around Lane County, OR, and do not even drive through it. I graduated from the U of O in 2017 late summer. I had turned in something like 58 police complaints in living there for 2.5 years. PSU is awesome, and I'd rather have finished my degree there if I had enough funding, but only 1/3 of my degree is from PSU. Just don't live in the dorms, there is a drug dealer on each floor and people get killed outside of Montgomery Hall. Look up police reports online for the last 2 years.
