Tutoring
Take advantage of OHSU's network of tutors and other options for direct academic support. Assistance includes tutoring on key concepts, exam prep help, working on a specific assignment or paper, or just academic tips in general.
Libraries and Study Spaces
OHSU's library is the largest health sciences library in Oregon. The Learning Resource Center, located on the fifth floor of the Robertson Life Sciences Building (RLSB), provides quiet personal or group study rooms, and computers for student use.
Find Your Study Spot
Our South Waterfront location provides a host of places to focus and learn. Whether you prefer working alone or meeting with a group, there's somewhere for you. Reserve a study room at the Learning Resource Center, settle into a couch in our student lounge, or choose a desk with a view of the Robertson Life Sciences Building (RLSB) atrium. Outside, our pavilion offers an open air space to rest and reset.
If you want a change of pace, you can take the Portland Aerial Tram for a quick ride up the hill. Grab lunch from a food cart and study while taking in the views of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood.
Financial Aid
We understand the financial burden that comes with pursuing a degree. OSU College of Pharmacy provides scholarships and waivers, alongside OSU's various financial aid services, to assist in and out-of-state students in affording a pharmacy education.
Health and Wellness
We know that health and wellness are key to the success of every student. We are pleased to offer resources through OHSU's Student Health and Wellness Center.
"The Student Health and Wellness Center offers a full range of services to keep you healthy while you focus on your studies. If you're a student or postdoctoral scholar, you can get care on our Portland campus. Some services are also available for the spouses, domestic partners, and adult children of students and postdoctoral scholars."
