Western Oregon University Top Questions

My university is the only one in my state to have a good theatre program, but also one that is small enough where you get to know everyone. The school itself is small, so you get to know a lot of people. It is good if you like that, especially with smaller classes and getting to know your professors well. The campus is nice, but it is the people on it who interest me the most. There is people from Oregon, out of state, and a good sized body of international students. It is a good place to connect.

One of the main reasons I chose Western Oregon University was its relatively small size compared to the other big universities in my state. The smaller student-teacher ratio is extremely important to me for my college education. In this school, I have ready access to my professors whenever I need them. Many of my friends attending larger universities rarely get one-on-one help from their busier professors. This facet of education is important for success, I believe.

It has a large campus feel, although is small. Great combination.

At Western they are really friendly and are always willing to help. Although it is a rather small campus, they always have something for us to participate in

The professors at WOU and the small class sizes are really unique. The allow teachers to give extra help and one on one time. This comes in handy many times during the term when I have needed extra help, teachers don't have too many students to focus on and are more than willing to give students extra time when they need it.

has a very good education program.

The classes are small and the professors get to know their students and have an interest in their acedemic success. The school is in a much smaller town than most universities. The library is great. It has a well known education program for elementary teachers.
