Considering how most posters here are boosters of PSU I thought I'd step in and give my honest opinion of Portland State.
Well, strictly speaking, PSU is a nice school if you have neither the time nor the money to attend the two other (and in my honest opinion) better state schools (U of O & OSU). It's a huge step up from the for profit schools, like ITT or University of Phoenix, which cater to people who cannot attend a university under the typical circumstances (re: have children or family to take care of, or simply cannot go full time).
The best description is from an article in The Portland Mercury, as Portland's only 4-year Community College.
In other words, if you already live in Portland or are moving to Portland for reasons other than PSU--go for it. If not, I strongly recommend you consider somewhere else.

Reason: can one give dishonest criticism?
