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.
