Review of University of Oregon

from San Diego, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I went to a top-rated, public high school and thought I was going to coast in college. I am taking 2 chemistry classes, math and English and am really being challenged. I have also been able to get the help I needed from professors and affordable tutors

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I did not know how I was going to feel about being away from southern California and the sunshine. The environment here more than makes up for it! The campus is everything I hoped for and more. I love the school spirit and there are so many activities to choose from. This turned out to be a perfect fit for me. I have met so many great people here.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Absolutely worth it. I wish I lived in Oregon so I could pay in-state tuition, but with my scholarship from the school, I am not paying much more than I would for an in-state California University.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Go see the school and talk to some of the students. Be prepared for rain, but it's no big deal. Consider a bike with fenders.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I can't imagine anyone who would not enjoy being here. The education is terrific, the people are awesome and the school spirit is unbelievable and so exciting.
