Life in Portland:
Portland is a beautiful, very clean and safe city. Portland has a great bus and light-rail train system; you do not need a car to enjoy Portland. It is easy to visit the mountains and the beach from Portland. Portland has all the big city activities like concerts and sporting events, but it has a small town feel because it is friendly and so easy to get around. Students love Oregon, which is world famous for its natural beauty, variety of activities and events, and friendly people.
At our school we plan events and activities so that students can enjoy the many benefits of Portland life, such as skiing and snowboarding on Mt. Hood, field trips to the Oregon Coast and other fun locations, as well as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas parties.
The Portland English Language Academy (P.E.L.A) helps international students with housing in 2 ways: 1) we can reserve a room in our Student House for you, or 2) we can arrange a Homestay for you. In the Student House, you will share a big house with other international students enrolled in PELA. We carefully choose our homestay families and we find the family that is the best match for you. All of our families are friendly and kind. They have clean, safe houses, and they are eager to open their homes to you.
What our students say about PELA:
"At my internship, I have a great experience that I can’t get in a classroom. I meet many good people. I get so much confidence doing it. I really recommend doing an internship!"
"I wouldn't have passed the test without your TOEFL class, that's for sure! The way my teacher taught TOEFL was a very good exercise for the brain and is helping me with my classes at university!"
"In addition to studying, PELA offers fun events like the corn maze, NBA games, ski trips, and American holiday celebrations. Even the teachers participate! It is a great way to get to know each other."
"I have six roommates at the Student House, but I have my own room. Not only can I study, I can learn international cooking from my roommates, and I learn about different countries and cultures."
