REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThrough one short year, I feel as though I have learned to think in a different light.
Ashli from Nampa, ID
Eastern Oregon University is an amazing college full of opportunities. The campus is small enough that the teachers can give you the help you need, when you need it. It is up to you to go to your classes, and do well in school. College gives you the chance to learn a lot about yourself, and your views on life, and how important learning can be.
Harmony from Wasilla, AK
The instant my feet touched the EOU campus, I felt like I was at home. The size of the campus is just right, and so is the estimated size of the student body population. I know, that EOU is the right college choice for me.
Jasmine from Portland, OR
This is a mainly Education - based school; If you want to be a elementary, middle, or high school educator, this is the school for you. Since the classes are so geared towards teaching, it makes it difficult for a student that wants another kind of career to thrive in it. However, this school really is what you make of it and for the money that I paid (See Bang for the Buck) it is an excellent springboard for a student who wants to be more prepared before going to another more expensive college.
Samantha from Baker City, OR
I am currently a sophomore here at Eastern Oregon University and during my time here at E.O.U. I feel as if I have learned a lot. All of my classes have been challenging, educational, and fun all at the same time. As well, all of the classes are rather small, usually between 15 and 25 students, and the professors get to know you on a personal level.
Rheanna from Prineville, OR
eastern oregon is a wonderful school with a lot of beneficial programs. every person you come in contact with is very nice and helpful. it is nice to be near the mountains, where it is close to skiing, snowboarding, or the lake.
Emily from La Grande, OR
I have learned so much in this past term, and I'm getting way better grades than I ever thought I would get in college! I also went from struggling at the beginning of term, to succeeding as one of the highest students on my finals. I'm really proud of myself.
Mallory from Walla Walla, WA
Eastern is a great school for anyone interested in a quality education. All of the professors are here for you and they want you to succeed.
Michael from Fernley, NV
The staff here at EOU is very helpful and friendly. Classes are small and the environment is perfect for learning. Overall, coming here has been the best decision i have ever made.
Marco from La Grande, OR
