'On the Hill'
The main OHSU Campus is located on the Marquam Hill, in the Homestead
neighborhood, in downtown SW Portland. The portion of the Homestead
neighborhood that is within walking distance of OHSU is commonly refered
to as 'the hill'.
It is a quiet, almost exclusively residential neighborhood. There
is one convenience store and one pizza place within walking distance.
If you will have a car, there is shopping, restaurants, coffee shops
etc. within about a five minute drive. If you will be using public
transportation, plan on at least a 20 minute bus ride for grocery shopping,
dining, etc. As many incoming students choose to stay close to campus,
start looking early. Apartments open up year round, but around midsummer
they start to fill up quickly.
