My name is Orlando Gaeta. I'm a Portland State Student. I'm a Sophmore this year.
I'm a criminal justice major.
I didn't have a lot of the resources that other students have such as financial help from my family
nor did i have the resources in which they can explain the process to me. As I came to Portland State, I didn't know how I was going to pay for it.
I only knew that I had a Pell Grant which came from Financial Aid and the student loans I was going to take out.
Having my advisor was the greatest help that I could have ever gained.
She helped me a find out about a scholorship she actually ran the program for.
One of the biggest reasons that I chose Portland State was because I was able to stay near my home and friends.
and family of course which is a great things.
One of the biggest things that I love Portland State is how diverse it is.
So, in coming here it's like "Oh Hey" It's like I feel comfortable like I'm at home
Just my neighborhood.
