Location Portland, the largest city in Oregon, has spectacular views of Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, and Mount Hood. Although the population in the metropolitan area exceeds a million, there is a very low population density in the rest of the state. Portland State University is located within ten blocks of the Oregon Health Sciences University. Oregon's outdoor recreational opportunities, such as backpacking, camping, and fishing, are unsurpassed anywhere else in the United States, and the Columbia River Gorge with its network of hiking trails begins less than 20 miles from downtown Portland. The Oregon Health Sciences University is a public corporation with close ties to the seven component institutions in the Oregon State System of Higher Education.
