University of Oregon Top Questions

The University of Oregon is unique because you could sit in the same place at the same time everyday and meet a new person who has had totally different and unique life experiences than the person you met the day before. It's very likely that if you did this for the whole school year, you'd never meet the "same person" twice.

Beautiful campus and amazing sports programs/sports fans, tons of extra-curriculars.

Part of the PAC 10, close to extended family, far away from immediate family, in Oregon, in the North West, liked the size.

In terms of U of Oregon, what made it unique is the people in the city of Eugene. They are realatively open minded and liberal. The campus and its surroundings are very natural (scenic) and, clean and spirited. Students also have a lot of pride in the school. Howard University is more homogenous on the main campus (African American) but in the dental school it is very diverse and multicultural. The area is not the safest and it concerns me at times but I love the students in the dental school and I have had a good experience.

I learned alot more than I imagined, not from classes, but from other activities like clubs and volunteering.

Oregon is a big school, but while hosting many students for their education, it allows each student to feel personally connected in one way or another to the University, promoting diversity and goodness in personal ethics..

At University of Oregon the people there are unique in a way that makes Eugene the great place it is. You will find mostly hippies, and really laied back people, but at the same time they are all very inteligent, as well as very motivated when it comes to there future goals as well as dreams. University of Oregon is in the top greenest schools in the United States, so being liberal seems to go hand and hand with that, and for me I came from a very concretive family so it helped shape me into a very rounded individual.

It's got its split right down the middle of mainstream and alternative. There's hardly an in-between. There are weekly demonstrations, protests awareness marches. The coolest thing is that everyone intermingles: Activists date athletes and such. But everyone in Eugene, Oregon seems to have a cause - it's a pretty cool thing.

I liked the programs I wanted to get into

The large college feel with the ability to get into a subject of one's choice.

This is in a real "college town"; the university is not just located here, but part of the identity is interwoven with that of the city.

It allows students to have all of the resources and oppourtounities without losing benefits of a small school. There are 16,000 undergrad yet on campus everyone runs into people they know and I have never felt lost or overwhelmed on campus. It also is not too far from a major city (portland) but also has a great deal of outdoor activities at students fingertips.

The amount of school spirit, greenish campus, and amount of outdoor activities offered

The University of Oregon is unique because unlike other schools and campus, the school is at a perfect balance in regards of all aspects: school work, social activities, etc.

There is an extreme emphasis put on "green" and environmental initiatives which the students are quick to support.

Really, the South Park episode where Cartman tries to exterminate all hippies, that's how I feel about Eugene and UO. I enjoyed my experience there, and made good friends, but it sucked knowing that if I wasn't in perfect lock step with the hippie party line, I was a terrible baby raping murderer. So I like to eat meat; forgive me. So I go to church and believe in Jesus Christ; my bad. So I watch NASCAR; oops. Really people, you preach tolerance and are more intolerant than the racist pigs I left from the south. Please join the voluntary human extinction movement and off yourselves. Ohh yeah, the voluntary human extinction movement has an annual booth at a conference here, because humans are raping the earth so much we need to not reproduce anymore. How about you all just save the real humans and kill yourselves. Hippies.

The UO's great, but stay away if you're uptight!

Come to Oregon if you care about creating change.

There are mainly 3 on campus bars with a few further off but still in walking distance. If you're looking for a hugely active nightlife with clubs, this really isn’t the place for you.

I give the University a 8 or 9 out of 10.
