Matt
The students at our school are a mix and it allows for a cultured experience.
Jenny
Most students are laid back at UO. There is no reason to dress up for class because most people either wear athletic clothes or duck gear. There is a group for everyone to join for different experiences and interests.
Elisabeth
Very welcoming. Fun. Down to earth.
Caley
They're fun, diverse, interesting, and friendly. I've only met a few people that I didn't see myself getting along with or hanging out with outside of class.
Khashayar
My classmmates were mostly busy with their own lives, and did not seem too interested in making friends outside of the ones they aready had. Also, I noticed that the majority of the students at my school were mostly White, with the exception of the athletes, who were mostly African American. My school also had a strong Greek presence, although I was never a part of this.
Karen
The University of Oregon has a vast diveristy in it's student body; you can find friends who are passionately engaged in whatever your interests are.
Brittany
My classmates are very energetic, passionate and mostly friendly but some seem to be a tad superficial and apathetic ; however, I have made friends for life at this school.
Clarissa
There are different groups of people that I know personally in my classes. I have met funny people who enjoy joking around and having a good laugh. There are the more serious students who keep their studies as their main priority. There are the ones who keep busy and are very social orientated and love their crazy schedules. There are the more athletic students who either participate in them or are avid fans and watch every game. Then of course there are the more creative students who either play music or are fantastic artists.
Callan
Everyone is friendly and proud to be an Oregon Duck!
Taryn
I am meeting classmates from all over the country especially California where they have sunshine and we have liquid sunshine where you need a good pair of waterproof shoes.
Lucas
My classmates are intelligent and engaging, and share a common interest in the study that I am focused on.

University of Oregon is very diverse and has students and administration from all sorts of backgrounds. There are so many groups and clubs one can join depending on their background, which allows them to meet students who are similar to them. I don't believe any student could be out of place at this school, because I have seen every kind of person on campus at one point or another. The diversity adds character to the university and allows for people to learn about different kinds of students. Though most students are from Oregon or California, there are many students from all over the nation and all over the world. Last year one of my roommates was from China and the other from England, and this year I have a different roommate from China, which shows how common exchange students are here.
Leila
Most students fit into groups with their majors. People intermingle, but most people become friends and join in the groups with the people they are around all the time. Each group has their own style and different benefits.
Rebecca
The students at my school are indescribable. A lot of them are irritating with their partying and vocabulary, but for the most part it is a pretty diverse campus with a lot of different social groups and a ton of Greek houses.
Beth
There is a place for everyone here. There are clubs for different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, general interests, and more. I've noticed that girls usually wear boots and leggings or some sort of yoga pant to class. Boys vary considerably on what they wear, from skinny jeans to athletic shorts. Most of the students here that I've met seem to be from California or the Portland, OR area. I would say that most students are from middle class families, but the people I've met don't really talk about it. Many students are very politically aware and active. I would say that most of them are left, but there is also a good portion that are center, too. They are also very active about issues involving the school and community.
Ava
University of Oregon is a predominately Caucasian school. Most kids come from middle class families from outside of Portland or California. At the same time, everyone at U of O is very welcoming and warm so it is not like if you don't meet those credentials you would feel uncomfortable. Most people would be more excited to meet someone from a different area or background than the typical ones. Being such a relaxed school most people don't dress up for class. Girls usually wear yoga pants and a jacket to class while guys will wear pants and something like a flannel. We do have a lot of Asian exchange students so you will see them all over campus too.
Jelve
The students at the university of oregon are very athletic and smart. We're all about working out and achieving good grades. Most students wear a lot of workout gear to class, in including nike running shoes, shorts and a nike jacket.
Elizabeth
Here at the University of Oregon we have a very diverse student body. One of the great things about the dorms is that you are exposed to so many different types of people. You are then given the chance to become friends with some people that you might not have become friends with if you had not been living in the dorms. My friends include those involved in the LGBT community, the women's center on campus, the student government, fraternities and sororities, the band and other various organizations. I think that students at the University of Oregon can be open about who they are without feeling judged. Since I have been here I have really gained a sense of home here at the University of Oregon.
Most students that attend the U of O are from Oregon, California, Washington and Hawaii but there are also a lot of students that are from other regions of the country. I am from Texas, my roommate is from Missouri and I have friends from South Dakota, Alabama, New York, Illinois and Colorado.
At the University of Oregon there is a spot for everyone. The school is large but you often run into the same people which can make it feel small at the same time. I have made some of my best friends here, all with diverse backgrounds.
