Located in northwestern USA, enjoy the marine west coast and mild climate in Portland while you take courses. Summers are warm and dry, while winters are temperate with mild rain and little snow. The spring is wet and cool at first and becomes drier, while autumns begin warm and turns cool. Don’t let the rainy Pacific Northwest stereotype fool you – average rainfall is the same as most east coast cities in the USA.
