Living in Portland

We aim to make you feel completely satisfied with your housing situation while studying English with us. Being relaxed, safe, and comfortable will enable you to enjoy American culture, while you succeed in your English studies.

Columbia School of English is located at 92nd and Powell in the Lents neighborhood in Portland. Portland is divided into neighborhoods that are as unique and diverse as the city itself. Lents is among the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in Portland, bordering what is called "New Chinatown" along 82nd Ave. In New Chinatown, you can find multiple Asian grocery stores, restaurants and thriving businesses.
