    I love PSU. My MBA is from there. The new hoops facility will be great for recruiting!

    How about instead of wasting tens of millions on a building for a sports team nobody watches or cares about, they stop jacking up my tuition?

    I'm tempted to write PSU and tell them that I'll gladly pay 3% of my salary for the next 100 years, if I can end my student loans (which are not doubling in interest rates...yay goverment!)

    I take it you don't understand why it's called a University and not a College.

    Oh is that the difference? Never knew. So University of Phoenix has a Masters program? Cheap.

    I just read something that said that Cincinnati and Boston had a whiter metro area than Portland... do ya'll feel like you should create measures to reclaim you rightful thrown as the whitest city in America?

    That and, is there anything more to a Portland culinary experience than Voodoo doughnuts?

    As an outsider, even someone who's been posting on this board for a while, my view of Portland, having never visited, is white people, some good doughnuts, a lot of hipsters, and the Trail Blazers. Ya'll can argue those stereotypes to the death, but that's pretty much how I think my generation looks at Portland.

    Portland is known for having food carts, tons of them.

    As for the donuts, I think it's something that is more important to the hipster Portlanders, and those who didn't grow up here. While I could be wrong, I don't know anyone who grew up in Portland who cares all that much about voodoo donuts.

    It's donuts with cereal or bacon slapped on it. In my youth we did that in sandwiches (peanut butter and fruit loops, etc), but grew out of it.

    It's kind of like Portlandia. Yeah, it's kind of our inside joke but it's not really like that.

    It has several. It actually has a bigger enrollment than both OSU and U of O, and more graduate students than both. Not sure about the #'s of masers programs, but it offers it.

    I think you need to include the Timbers and Timbers Army.

    The donuts are overrated.

    The new urban target at the galleria -- is that a Portlandia reference?

    PAW is going back to the review board with plans on going back to the pre-recession proposal/height.
