Student reviews for McMurry University
It is a great place to study as an international student. It is a supportive community.
Portland Community College has a variety of resources and services for students. For instance, PCC has a free tutoring and writing center, food banks, multicultural centers, queer centers, women's centers, and free shuttles. Also, PCC has a lot of club activities and events. I feel PCC is a kind and comfortable environment for everyone.
Accommodate is good. Facilities are close so no issues with transport. There are stores and eat out places off campus that can be accessed in less than 10 mins if you don’t mind trekking.
McMurry social life stands out for having very open and nice people. Facilities are a bit outdated but are slowly developing into new modern facilities. Accommodation is not that good. Dorms are very old.
I like that they have a place to hang out that’s open 24/7.
