I will be there on the 15th also. I will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express.
 
I just had my interview :eek:

I hope it went well :smuggrin:

One thing I didn't understand. Did Lonnie say that the latest we will hear by is mid March or will everyone find out by then?

I'm thinking about staying at the Holiday Inn Express too! Did you ask for Pacific University rate?
 
Is anyone going to the Feb. 9th interview??

If so, I might see you there!
 
Hi all,

I was just wondering.. for those of you who stayed at the Red Lion, how did you get to the campus?

And did you guys take the MAX from the airport to get to the hotel?

Any tips would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

So if you are staying at Red Lion, MAX will take you from the airport and to the school. everything is within walking distance. bring an umbrella though

I actually have decided to stay at the Red Lion. I plan to take the MAX from the airport to the hotel. I believe it is within 3 to 6 miles of the campus.
 
For those of you have decided to stay at Red Lions in Hillsboro and also will be taking the MAX, here's what I wrote from a couple of months ago:

Please bring a pair of tennis or walking shoes, especially, if you'll be doing some walking using the Max Light Rail. Note for the girls: my feet were killing me in heels! If you're using the MAX, purchase an all day $4.25 pass, otherwise a one-way trip each time will cost you $2.05. So save money if you can! If you decide to stay at Red Lions Hotel in Hillsboro, the only good thing is how close this hotel is to a MAX. You can get to the schoool in about 10min! It's really easy to use if you don't have a car or don't plan on renting a car in Oregon. The MAX can also help you get to and from PDX airport to Red Lions in Hillsboro. Just beware it takes about 2 hours from PDX to Hillsboro!! So please plan ahead.

Good job and good luck to everyone.
 
For those of us going for the interview on the 16th; but, coming in on the 15th. Do you guys/gals want to meet up and explore the area?

I have reservations at the Red Lion Hotel. They claim they will have someone there to drive us to the interview. If you make reservations there, make it a point to them that you'll also be wanting a ride.

It would really bother me if I depended on the shuttle to take us to the campus and the shuttle driver doesn't show up to work (on a Saturday) to drive us to the interview.

I wonder how long it would take to get to Pacifc University from the Red Lion Hotel on the MAX?

From the hotel to the campus, it is a ~10 min. ride (or even less!) using the MAX (choose the one going towards 'Hillsboro'). I think it was about 2 Max stops away. Get off on MAX stop 'Tuality Hospital/SE 8th Ave' and you'll see the HPC is very close within walking distance.

If using the MAX, I suggest getting a colorful Trimet map provided at the help information desk at the PDX Airport!
 
For those of us who interviewed on Jan 26th...has anyone heard anything yet?? I guess I am being impatient, but I am so excited (and nervous) to hear back!!! :scared::D:D I guess I will have to be a little more patient!!:rolleyes: Good luck to everyone who has interviews coming up!!:)

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! I hope to be joining your class this fall. ;)

Take care.
 
Has anyone stayed at the Econo Lodge Hillsboro before??
 
I'm not really sure. I just know that it is between .5 to 1 mile away from the campus...

Well, I think that's the motel I stayed at. The room had a refrigerator, which is uncommon to me, since in the recent years only hotels I've been to have them. The rooms were decent and clean. In the morning they had breakfast for you. I don't believe they have a shuttle to take you to the school, so be prepared to drive. But you don't have to leave that early, since it takes about 3-4 mins to arrive at school.

Overall, I would recommend them.
 
Hey good luck to all of you guys and gals going for an interview tomorrow:thumbup:.
 
How did the interviews go? :D I heard it didn't rain like it did when I was up there!! :D
 
Congrats to all who had their interview today - I was really impressed with the group as a whole - It was great meeting some of you, and I look forward to meeting all of you in the fall - keep up the great work.

~above~
 
Has anyone from the Jan. 26th batch hear anything??? :confused: The wait is really making me nervous:scared:

Hey Whirls, I've decided to stay at the red lion. It's only $72 with AAA membership! =) I think the lady said that they have a shuttle for sat too.

I've decided to stay there too! I don't have an AAA membership but being a procrastinator helped because when I first checked the rates they were about $90 a night and when I booked the room the other day it was only $75 :D
 
Still waiting to hear back from the interview also...:scared: I am sure we will hear in the next few weeks!! I hope that we all hear something good!!!:D
 
I think today is the last day that they are interviewing!! :D So we are getting that much closer to hearing back from them!!:scared: I am so nervous!! :eek: I need to calm my nerves somehow but I can't until I have an answer. :D
 
How did the interviews go today?? Anyone who interviewed today?
 
I had an awesome day at Pacific. I trully enjoyed everything about the interview day. However, It would have been nice to see someone besides myself from Florida. Hoping to hear some good news within the next month.

Good luck everyone.
