hey i just noticed this thread, I'm not dental (X_X) but I am from Portland so I thought I'd offer some advice on the area if you guys need. OHSU is located in NW portland and alot of the medical students live on the hill as it's called so it makes walking distance to OHSU possible. My sister did her medical school there and lived in an apartment about 4 minutes walk away from campus and it was a 2 bedroom 2 bath place for about 800-900 dollars?

If you don't mind commuting, Portland traffic isn't bad, there are cheaper places to live in SW Portland around Beaverton or you can choose to live downtown and take the bus to OHSU that comes by. It rains here quite often so this may not be a very good option for some =(

If you have any other questions, just PM me.

Where is everyone looking to live while attending OHSU? I'm not very familiar with the Portland area but know that I don't want to live downtown - can anyone offer any advice??
 
I've just been looking on Craigslist at the moment to get some ideas about living. I plan on living on the hill behind the school. That way I'll be within walking distance.
 
My advice is that you can live any where as long as it's near a MAX line. However, I would not go further west than Hillsboro. You can get some good deal on apt. in Beaverton and Hillsboro.

Now I need to find 3 roomates ... I have a house that is located right behind the school.

Anyone interested?

hey, have u thought about where you are going to live? to commute or not???

Hi, I'm a second year dental student at OHSU. I moved onto "the Hill" from near-in South East Portland and let me tell you 5 minutes walk is definitely worth it! Beats 30 minute commute for going 3 miles...

I live on SW 11th Ave, and these are the other roads you want to look for housing on if you want to live on the hill: SW Curry, SW 12th, SW 10th, SW Gibbs, SW Gaines. Find them on Craigslist. Some of the apartment complexes up here are called: Marquam Manor, Marquam Hollows, Marquam Trail (?), Hilltop House, and a few others I can't think of.

If you have any questions, I'm here!
