Very quiet school suitable for reading, just feel a little bored when you come, the longer you stay, the more you like it, the bustling city of big cities, everyone is quite friendly, Chinese students don t need to carry too much, here Basically, there are dormitory in the school, but the price is expensive. People who want to contact different countries should be able to meet it. When they first come, they should learn slowly. The main thing is to adapt. Don t choose too many classes, the traffic is still convenient. Buy a car, the gym is free, the bus is free, and the book is free, but the premise is that you have a student card, and I wish everyone a happy time to enjoy the university time PS learning is more important than the male friend.

We walked through the campus before and after the football game. It's a very pretty campus and the surrounding neighborhoods are very quaint. The basketball and football stadiums are practically on campus which is great for the students.

Last week I received my ACT scores and found out that my scores were not sent to the UofO like I requested. So I called the UofO to see if they would accept my copy of the scores as a temporary file until they received my official scores. They told me no and that they wouldn't be able to admit me in time for fall and they wouldn't make any exceptions even though I'm retiring from the Air Force next week. I had my supervisor call and then all of a sudden they were saying they denied me because of my grades in high school, which they failed to tell me, and which doesn't make any sense because I passed all of my classes. I called to talk to them and then the story changed. I was told that I was denied because I was missing core credit classes. But I'm applying for my freshman year and passed all my high school classes. Well I called this morning to talk to someone in charge and I ended up talking to this guy named Kirk Koenig in admissions. Kirk kept cutting me off when I was talking and told me he denied me because I received a D in English both my junior and senior year which I'm fairly certain isn't true but that's besides the point. The fact that I was denied admittance isn't the issue here. Kirk talked down to me through our whole conversation and I was nothing but respectful. He basically told me that I was too dumb to attend the UofO and that I should apply at Lane Community College. I decided to call the VA Representative at the school to see if there is any sort of waiver that I could get and use my ACT scores to prove that I'm competent enough to attend the UofO. I was told I would receive a call back once she had an answer for me. I got a call back from Kirk Koenig who sounded rather irritated but asked what was going on because it sounded to him like I was confused. I tried explaining to him that I was curious about a waiver and that I had been told three different things by admissions as to why I was denied admittance but he cut me off saying "first of all, I'm the senior admissions officer here at the University of Oregon and I make the decisions. I denied you because your grades do not meet the minimum standards set by the UofO." Then continued to talk down to me, again, and basically called me stupid the whole time but without actually saying it. Whenever I would try to say something he would just talk louder and then pretty much hung up on me after I thanked him for his time. As a United States service member who is about to become a veteran, and even as a civilian, I have never been treated so poorly by anyone. This is supposed to be a professional establishment. The lack of integrity and respect that I've seen from this school is appalling. Normally I just turn the other cheek when I'm treated poorly but this is unacceptable due to the fact that the University of Oregon is such a high praised school. I certainly hope that you don't treat all of your applicants like this. I grew up in Eugene and I've always been a huge fan of Oregon but you've lost all of my respect. Now I have absolutely no desire to attend the University of Oregon.

TWO THINGS: My wife, son and I walked the campus. We found some parts to be just gorgeous and then right next to it you'd see neglect. The stadiums, dorms and halls were very well designed in usefulness as well as appearance. The old cemetery is interesting to walk thru. TWO things we found very very odd, the first was that the food industry or offerings here were bad. The food was just bad in eugene period. The second issue here was that no one was smiling. We e even started playing a game to find someone who was smiling. We did find a lady reading by the student union who looked up and smiled at us as we walked by.

Great school, gorgeous campus. Fantastic buildings, a top university in the northwest.The computer science department is top-notch. Smaller class sizes and overall less impacted than comparable schools. I really think it's an up-and-coming university... don't let its reputation as a jock school fool you!

found that many of the college "professors" are very strange people... like a man named david folwer.. seems to be teaching racism is at every turn..... i would watch what any child takes away from people like him... really good sports - loved the lay out ---- if you have a second pick.... pick that

After many years at this University, it has its ups and downs. It is very centered around its athletic program, and sometimes the disparity between the funding is evident. I have had a mixed group of professors, varying from amazing to "wants to be here less than I do."
If you are coming from out of state or out of country, the tuition can be expensive, certainly. You will find an educational slightly leaning towards a liberal point of view, but that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone thinking about coming to Oregon.
Sometimes I found, as an intelligent student, that I was bored with some of the first year classes because of the varied levels of experience of incoming students. I find many of the classes try to play to the lowest common denominator, rather than leaving students behind, which has its ups and downs. As for the sexual assaults that are commonplace as indicated by the other comments, I have never experienced, nor heard of any in my circles of friends while attending this University, but cannot speak to it being safer / more dangerous than other universities.
All in all I have had a wonderful experience here, and decided to make Eugene my permanent home, and am happy to say I have wonderful career prospects and a beautiful family, in large part to my experiences at the University of Oregon.

I attended law school at UO and loved Eugene. I arrived from the University of Iowa in 1987 and had a fun three years on campus. Came to love the Ducks and got a great education. Still practicing law in Seattle. You can't miss at Oregon. Go Ducks!

College is a great experience for most kids, but without going into too much personal detail I know the University of Oregon is a unique and special place. I wouldn't trade my years there for anything.

The U of O has a really awesome campus with those pretty bricks. The one thing I don't like about the campus is that the buildings are not in any real order, they're a bit all over the place. The math building is going way on the other side of the science buildings for example. Of course, all of their sports teams are awesome and the ducks are known everywhere in eugene (and probably in Oregon).

The school is filled with memories that make you cry when you remember. I suffered a lot, learned a lot, and laughed a lot. love U of O, go Ducks!

The University of Oregon is the home of the fighting ducks. World class student athletes from all over the country come to the University of Oregon. Our campus had the most high tech and futuristic facilities around. Construction is More

To whoever it may concern:
It has been a real challenge to listen to the Univ of Oregon Pac 12 basketball games because of the Bill Walton announcing. His comments to his co-host Dave have been demeaning and inappropriate having little to do with the calling of the games. It became so bad we decided to not listen to the narrative.

A University that puts its athletic programs ahead of its academic ones. Hundreds of millions of dollars go to their sports programs while the academic side is more or less an afterthought. Passing out degrees to lug heads only taints the fabric of society. Could I get more Investment Bankers with chronic traumatic encephalopathy please?

The campus is fabulous featuring exciting architecture, green spaces and art.

Hayward Field is completed and ready to wow the worlds athletes and attendees.
Work is continuing at Autzen Stadium on the installation of the nation's largest video board.
The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact is nearing completion and it is a stunning addition to the U of O.
Exciting times on the campus.

UofO is not just a university it is so much more to the students, the staff, the faculty and the Eugene community as a whole. The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum show our history and heritage as Oregonians both as settlers and our beautiful indigenous peoples. The School of Music and Dance is one of the finest music schools in the western United States. Performances given by the students who have come from all over the world to learn from the World Class Professors at the school. And of course our Ducks, some of the finest athletes in the world. GO DUCKS

One of the worst institutions you could possibly go too. Avoid it at all costs. They are nothing more than Nikes puppet and routinely invest Millions in student athlete buildings while downsizing the journalism and business schools due to budget deficits. Furthermore they take advantage of the International student group and use them as a personal piggy bank. Poor facilities, poor lecturers, GTF's are frequently on strike due to ridiculously low wages. Lecturers often do not reply to emails and the school is unable to provide anything they attempt to promise. Horrible. If you are there, transfer. If you aren't don't go cross it off your list immediately.
