Beach Trip

The beach trip is an all-day outing to the northern Oregon coast. The beach is beautiful any time of the year, and we enjoy walking on the beach, eating clam chowder at a beach-side café, and shopping in a typical oceanside town.

Downtown Tour

Downtown Portland is a lively place and there is much to see and do. On this day, we visit famous places such as Pioneer Courthouse Square and Waterfront Park on the scenic Willamette River. We take a ride on the MAX Trains and see the statue Portlandia. Then, we go shopping at Pioneer Place.

Coffee Hours

Coffee Hours are great opportunities to meet other international and American students and the International Education staff. Each of the three campuses has these fun opportunities to make new friends and share cultures.

Halloween Party

The Halloween Party is a very popular event because of the activities and good food! Face painting and pumpkin carving are just two of the things we do. Prizes are given for the best costumes.

Movie Day

Movie Day is a favorite activity for many international students at PCC because of the different choice of popular movies. Afterwards, we often get together at nearby coffee shops and talk about the movies we have just seen.

The ski trip takes place during Winter Term when the weather conditions are most favorable for snow sports. If you enjoy skiing and snowboarding, you will definitely want to be part of this experience. If you have never seen snow, here is your chance!
