The higher in classes you get the more intellectual and interesting people
Joseph
My classmates are quite enthusiastic, with a couple of people who are just there to be there. For the most part all of the people in my classes are happy about being in them and are fun to be with.
Charlotte
My class mates are hard working, focused, honest, sincere, very friendly, fun to hang out with, relaxed, not high maintaince. I am able to be true to myself and feel accepted by my peers. it is a very comfortable and secure environment where i don't feel pressured to participate in activities that i don't want to.
Kimberly
My classmates are very economically diverse and open-minded.
Christine
I like that the people i have classes with are like me and i can relate to easily. They make me feel welcome and comfortable wherever class is

What University of Oregon thinks of freedom
Bob
Hippies. Hippies. Hippies. Hippies. Hippies.

There are a lot of socio-cultural student groups at the UO. So I think a student should not feel left out more of looking for what the student needs. Most people wear t shirt and a pair of jeans. Yes different student group interact. UO students are mostly from the Oregon, California, Washington and some from overseas.
Reese
Most UO students are from Oregon. Many are from the Bay Area in California and some are from Washington. There are international students, in fact my first dorm roommate was from Japan.
Katie
Low racial diversity, but huge diversity of experience and opinion.
Jasmine
Highly variable. We have all types. We need more motivated, politically and social kids though.
Andy
There is definately a strong movement for all kinds of race/sex/orientation views at UO. Most students would feel comfortable here, compared to other schools we are very open and accepting. This is a left wing school. What does it matter what kids wear to class?
Ali
Students are mostly left wing here. It is Oregon after all, the ones that aren’t come from areas in Portland’s suburbs. All political views are accepted and there are many clubs to join, but there is an overwhelming sense of democratic support.
Jessica
You will have experiences with anti-racial, religious and anti-religious, LGBT, socio-economically aware people here. It seems like everyone has got something to say, and they say it here at UO. A student who would feel out of place at UO is an apathetic, close minded-conservative who hates the rain and learning from other people.
No one dresses up for class- unless they're in the Business School- and you feel comfortable all over campus. People are friendly, a lot of kids want to go into the Peace Corps, and we like beer.
The kids who are career driven and into networking socially and dressing less casually tend to be Greek students.
Cameron
Really depends on what major and what you are in to. Most UO students are from Oregon, California, and Washington.
I would say the school is predominately caucasian, I would guess 75{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} or more.
But everyone seems to find a good social group and fits in well.
Alex
UO is definitely a politically active campus, with numerous political party and political activist groups on campus.
Jesse
Lot's of diversity and tolerance here at UO! Basically a group or club for anybody with any interest. Ranging from more traditional interests like College Democrats or Republicans, or Christian groups, to more liberal or eccentric groups like LGBT and PETA. There's something for everyone!
Not a lot of racial diversity, but state universities usually reflect the population of the state their located in, and Oregon is mostly Caucasion. However, we represent students from all 50 states and internationally!
Whitney
Anything goes here at UO. In any given class a dread locked hippy maybe seated next to the most uptight designer sorority girl, and both can be engaged in deep intellectual conversations. About half of the students seem to be from instate, with the others coming from all over the nation, but mostly western states. Students are very politically active and aware, predominantly liberal.
