The University of Oregon is by far one of the most beautiful schools I have ever seen. Everyone is extremely kind and accepting of each other. The faculty is very dedicated and they do as much as they possibly can to make college enjoyable as well as prepare students for life outside of college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you're wanting to go to Oregon and you're out of state, make sure you apply for as many scholarships as possible because the out of state tuition is extremely steep and the scholarships you could potentially get from the school don't cover much.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The University of Oregon loves to challenge their students so you can expect difficult classes. However, most of the learning is hands on and the school participates in a lot of research so the material is easier to learn because the students experience it for themselves instead of merely reading a book.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The University has outstanding dorms! Not only are most of them fairly new but there's a good fit for everyone. You can live by yourself or have as many as five roommates. The dormitories are also separated to fit the different lifestyles of the student body. For instance, there's a dorm for the LGBT community and a dorm for people who live very active lives and want to focus on their health and wellness.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Oregon has some of the coolest dining options I have ever seen. There are plenty of healthy options as well as some great places to pig out. There's even a Mongolian grill, a sushi bar, and some cute coffee shops. To top it off, you never have to go far because there's dining options in nearly every dormitory.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The University of Oregon has the perfect location when it comes to things to do. Eugene is an awesome town with tons of culture and plenty of opportunities for exploring. If you want get out of town, Eugene is about an hour from the coast and two hours from Mt. Hood. For the people who don't want to leave campus, Oregon has a really nice recreational center with tons of things to do!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Oregon seems to have it all but it doesn't come at a cheap price, especially for out of state students. If you can afford it or can get scholarships then it's definitely a great option! However, you can get a similar experience at a different college for a cheaper price.

Oregon is a great match for all types of students! However, athletic students fit the school the best. After all, it is located in Track Town USA.

Oregon has a lot of clubs and activities to get students involved, especially for incoming freshmen. The school offers some great freshman interest groups which give new students a chance to meet people who have the same ideals and hobbies and engage in some cool activities, some of which are dedicated to giving back to the city of Eugene.

Greek life at Oregon is for the most part, a major party scene but it can be a great way to make new friends and get connected.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Eugene has a pretty low crime rate and the school does have around the clock campus security as well as emergency call lights all over campus. However, it is an open campus so there are opportunities for people to come on campus that shouldn't be on it but it's not a big concern.
