University of Oregon Top Questions

There are very few things I consider as negative at the University of Oregon. I feel there are many opportunities for students to get involved in the community, an area that will help in their career pursuit, and outdoor extracurriculars.

The lack of lights around campus at night is the worst thing about this school. In the fall, it gets dark early, so when you are walking to your classes or to library it does not feel safe.

The off campus housing, while being in great proximity to the campus, is very expensive.

Currently the worst part about my school is the construction underway for a new building. Though the school requires a new builiding for the abundant student population, the construction is often quite loud and causes a distraction for the student body.

I think the hardest part about attending University of Oregon was how large it was. The class sizes can be very big and you may not have a chance to talk to a professor all semester. For this reason, I think it is important to be an independent learner in order to thrive at a large school like UO.

Sometimes certain students make poor life choices and get away with it because they are involved with sports, which reflects badly on the school as a community.

There really is not anything that is the "worst", just certain areas need improvement.

This year it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, but the rain, is just way to excessive. I hate how I just leave my dorm for a few minutes and I am drenched. Definitely not a place to come if you dont like the rain.

The tuition for out-of-state students is quite nearly double what in-state students pay.

The worst thing about the University of Oregon is the lack of career focused degrees. Outside of Business Administration and Pre-Law, the undergraduate degrees are very generalized liberal arts degrees. Many students that love the campus and facilaties choose other schools over the University of Oregon because of the lack of pre career degrees.
