University of Oregon Top Questions

There are many different types of people on campus. I have friends that are involved in the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community, the women's center, the Native American group, fraternities and sororities, as well as the student government. There are tons of groups on campus for all types of people. I do not think that many students would feel out of place here. There is a large liberal community here and so it may be difficult for conservatives to attend University of Oregon but I think it is still possible. If you do not want to be get involved in certain groups, no one is pushing them in your face. It is funny because at the beginning of the year everyone is wearing really nice things to class or just getting out of their pajamas in an attempt to look nice but about two weeks into the term you see girls and guys wearing sweats and sweatshirts to class. Although, I think for a University, Oregon has some pretty great style. There are a lot of students from California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. But, I am from Texas and I have met a lot of other non-Westcoasters here too. My roommate is from Missouri and I have even met people from New York. Students here are very politically aware. There are many people on campus trying to get people to sign up for government elections, get involved with the state government, change laws (such as making marijuana legal) and so on. But students here are still very friendly. I have friends of all different backgrounds. It seems that everyone here is willing to get along for the most part.

The students at the UO are a very diverse group. Anyone can find a niche here- whether your looking for a particular click or you're a free floater like me and talk to almost anyone, you'll do fine. Most of the students in my classes are very relaxed, not in a hippie-bohemian way (though we have those too), generally in a cool, welcoming, calm sort of way. Most of the time, students show up in yoga pants or sweats- though when there is nicer weather we do like to throw on the shorts, tank-tops and sundresses. As for being politically aware, the student population does a good job of keeping their peers very aware. There is a law school on campus and many political clubs you can join if your interested. And of course, the athletes are the stars of the school.

The U of O has a very diverse student body with many different groups. I don't think that any student would feel out of place at this school. Most students dress very casually for class.

There are many different student run organisations on campus and they are all well formed and influential. Any student who wants to participate has a great opportunity to thrive at this school because there are so many ways in which to get involved. Most students in the UO tend to be from Oregon or the Bay Area, with exceptions for international students and others from out of state. Everyone tends to interact equally in the school environment and there is a friendly atmosphere with most people. Eugene is one of the friendliest places I've ever been to - where sometimes the locals are nicer to the College students than the students are to each other.

As I mentioned, their are people from all over the world at the University of Oregon-you'll find all kinds of different races, backgrounds, and culturally diverse students at this university.

They are all pretty rich, and they get what they want most of the time. A lot of them try as hard as they can to get good grades, but there are a lot who don't really care. Some of the athletes just tend to ride on their athletic scholarship, and they dont really care what their grades are. There are also a lot of asians, and they take up a big portion of the population. There are also a lot of people who are involved with the greek system. But most of them are really nice.

The students at my school are very diverse and tend to be very passionate about different subjects that they believe in. There is many organizations on campus for different groups including LGBT, Fraternity and Sorority Life, different ethnic groups, intramural sports, etc. I can't think of any student I would see feeling out of place at this school because basically every different group and stereotype is represented. Most students tend to dress nicely for class at the beginning of the terms, wearing jeans or a nice top, but once the rain starts to fall students tend to wear sweats and Ugg boots. Different types of students interact when group projects are involved, people are involved in the same organizations, and people want study buddies. However, there is a slight division when it comes to choice of who people hang out with. Foreign students tend to display having a lot of money, for example driving around in Mercedes and BMWs, but most students tend to come from the suburban middle class. There is political activism on campus, predominantly for the left side. However, not so much that you feel overwhelmed. Overall, it is a very diverse and open campus!

The average student at the U of O is upper-middle class and either politically apathetic or left-leaning but somewhat indifferent. However, there are a select few of us, such as yours truly, who follows politics very closely and participate in student-organized clubs such as the active College Democrats or College Republicans. As a result, there is little racism, homophobia, or bigotry on campus that I know of. I can't think of any student that would truly feel out of place at UO - the campus is large enough that you can almost certainly find your niche group of friends. Nearly half of the students are from California, due to their higher education crisis and extreme competitiveness of UC admissions. This doesn't mean the average student couldn't be accepted to one - I was accepted to several myself.

The students at my school are very friendly and intelligent; students in class are more than willing to assist others that seem to be having difficulty and the overall G.P.A. of the incoming freshman class is higher than it has ever been.

Small town mostly. Small minded and way too caucasian

There is so much diversity in the school, this creates a very interesting and fun envirionment for learning and meeting new people.

My classmates at the University of Oregon are generally courteous to the classroom environment, always friendly to other peers, and are open to discussion about the classes.

My classmates are intuitive, curious, and study well.

A lot of liberal students. A mixture of the average students and people who really want to exceed. People are really outdoorsy here. Also, quite a few people from the fraternity and sorority system.

My classmates are fun filled people that love life and are always looking to have a good time.

They are very friendly, intelligent, and well-rounded.

Corn fed hicks who can't get into a real dance school. Mostly women in the dance department, so very catty. The undergrads have no classroom etiquette* because they've never danced before, and the grads are so miserable they just can't wait to get out of the program, and the town. * Classroom etiquette, especially in dance, also includes deodorant.

The University of Oregon is great because there is diversity among the students. I am from Hawaii and I am used to growing up with a mixture of ethnicities. I was pleased to find that there are many races and ethnicities among the students at the U of O. I have met some really interesting people from all over the world. I love that I live in a multicultural hall because it is fun to learn about different cultures and places.
