Personal comments
I lived in Madrone Apartments on campus which is pretty nice and newly built. I would highly recommend NOT to live in the other dorms as they are expensive as well and, compared to Madrone, really bad.

Travelling at the West Coast is great! Rent a car during Spring Break and drive down the coast to San Diego, that's what we did, it is amazing. Also Portland is a wonderful city.
