There is such a wide variety of studies on campus. Not only do you learn an incredible amount in a short amount of time but you actually get to pick something that interests you. Every term I take such different classes that all can count towards my general education. The teachers are so available to the students that I have a relationship with all of the my professors.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The vibe of Oregon is by far my favorite part. The campus is so relaxed, and green all the time. Though I will admit it rains a lot it also stays green and lush all year around. I genuinely love every second I get to be on campus and walk around with all the rest of the Ducks. You never go more than five feet without seeing some type of Duck gear. The eclectic mix of hippies and die-hard football fans makes UO different than any college I have ever been to.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For me to go to school here from out of state is has become quite expensive, but it has become just as expensive to attend any school in my home state of California. Oregon's academics and free tickets to any sporting event make me glad I am spending my money here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to approach professors, they don't want to fail you. Don't put them on a pedestal, go to their office hours and don't leave till you get that question answered! My second piece of advice is to be spirited and take pride in being a Duck. There are so many clubs and events happening nonstop on campus, try to go to as many as possible you meet so many people that way.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Oregon is the place for relaxed, chill students. This is not the campus for high maintenance and materialistic. The people of Eugene are friendly and chill and so should you be if you're going here.
