University of Oregon Top Questions

A person should not attend the University of Oregon if they are inflexible by nature.

I think this school is good for almost anyone. There is adequate variety and quality of all the programs. Both art and science majors will find classes that are excellent. Other schools may specialize in science or arts more, but this school has it all. Maybe if a person disliked a school with a friendly and enthousiastic atmosphere, helpful professors and staff, large and diverse student populations, variety of class and social options, and green attitude, then maybe this school isn't for them.

Someone who is more academically inclined.
