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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
i would make sure you have a good pair of snow pants and boots for the winter. make sure you come with an open mind about meeting new people, because you will! if at all possible stay in the residence halls at least your first year! you will make some great friends and study partners!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
i have not found my classes to be terribly difficult. i believe eastern oregon is a great transition between high school and college. there are many tutors available if needed.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
living in the res halls is an amazing experience. the r.a's do their best to make your year a great one! there is always something to do around campus, whether it be tie-dying shirts in the main lobby, going to see an amazing play, or even cheering for the sports teams!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the grill is amazing, it is open late on the weekdays if your classes don't allow you to get diner, and you can use your flex dollars.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
if there isn't anything going on in the residence halls there are many more options. morgan lake is only a few miles away on one side of town where you can fish, lay on the dock, or just have a picnic. on the other side of town is mount emily. there are some beautiful places to hike here. if you are into going out and shooting a few rounds at a target there is a shooting range right outside of town that a lot of people go to. if you are into plays, a few miles away is elgin. there is an opera house that hosts many plays throughout the year. one of my favorite parts about living in la grand is the opportunity to go skiing and snowboarding. during the winter there is a one credit class that allows you to go either skiing or snowboarding for 3 weekends in a row. you do not have to be at a certain level or anything, they teach it all.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
eastern oregon is a great place for students who like to be outdoors, and would like a smaller school. here, you receive one on one attention from your professor, and in my opinion it helps a lot.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there are many clubs on campus. there is anything from gsa (gay straight alliance) to aseou (student government). the outdoor program is amazing. the outdoor program gives students a chance to rent equipment for free. the students can rent camping gear, kayaks, or basically anything else.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
i believe we have one of the safest campuses in the country. i feel completely safe if i have to go outside late at night for anything.
