Alum: The best online education experience I have ever had! Every course I took at OSU came with exemplary instruction by the professors that were very supportive towards student success. Canvas, the online paltform used for course instruction, was simple and organized which enabled me to stay on track of my weekly and daily tasks. In addition, my guidance counselor was always easy to make an appointment with and built a relationship with me which helped keep me motivated and on track to finish in time! Oregon State University was hands down the best choice I could have made to attain my BS in Natural Resources!... Read 3,102 reviews

Alum: Definitely do a campus tour first before you commit to a school, because this school. WOW. Caught my eye and I felt like I could see myself getting my degree here in four years. The campus itself is amazing, and is easily maneuverable if you find yourself late for class. Also a great place to go if you are from Hawaii. Many of my friends were from Hawaii and it just made easing into college way easier. I did not feel like I have left home at all. All the professors are great and they all have their own personalities which make classes all the more fun to attend. I believe their acceptance rate is high too so best of luck to anyone who is thinking to apply here!... Read 819 reviews

Sophomore: I am about to enter my second year at Linfield University, and I can honestly say that my freshamn year was amazing, I loved it. Not only was I able to maintain a high GPA while taking somewhat difficult courses, but I was also able to be apart of the women's soccer team, as well as work full time.

Freshman: Willamette has a really welcoming, accepting, and friendly community of smart students! Everyone I've met has been super friendly and kind, and the professors and primarily quite understanding and good at teaching. The food is superior to other colleges food, but that said, it's still not as good as homemade food. But the food is solidly okay. They're amazing at giving accommodations through AES office, and it's very easy to apply and understand the process.... Read 854 reviews

Junior: The overall experience at Western Oregon University (WOU) as an undergraduate student pursuing computer science has offered me a blend of academics, campus life, and community engagement. WOU's small campus in Monmouth, Oregon, fosters a close-knit community, making it easy to form meaningful connections with peers and faculty. WOU offers extracurricular activities, support services, and on-campus housing options enrich your college experience, while the university's location in the Pacific Northwest provides opportunities for outdoor adventures. Such as Destination Western, a two-week program that invites students to live on campus for that period of time and engage with peers and faculty. I was a participant and I have to say that it has helped me a lot to be ready for the upcoming semester. WOU also has financial considerations, career services, and community engagement opportunities also factor into the holistic experience.... Read 1,089 reviews

Senior: I am one term away from finishing my Criminal Justice Degree at Portland State University. I had a really good experience on campus and with the whole criminology program overall. I took many other criminology classes in addition to the required classes and they were all excellent. My favorite instructor was Jason Jones. What a valuable asset to PSU! What I liked the most about the criminology program at PSU was the fact that most of my instructors were actively working in law enforcement, so they are able to tell us what was going on in the Portland area presently and during the Covid pandemic era. I think the biggest thing I would like to see changed is tuition prices. Wow! Does it really need to cost that much to improve your life and contribute to the betterment of society? I went from living without any debt at all to facing a gigantic payment and losing sleep at night.... Read 2,653 reviews

Sophomore: Warm and accepting community. Campus is always hosting community events and activities, and the entire environment is very friendly-neighborhood-esque. The arts programs' and trade programs' instructors really know their stuff! The professors and classrooms are all very professional and high-standards, though some of the facilities are smaller due to the community nature of the college. I felt the credits I received were accurate reflections of how much I learned. I took a fiction class here, and I feel that some of my best story writings came out of that course....

Junior: The advisors are great, as are most of the other staff, but the teachers are hit or miss. You won't find several of the same online class with different teachers so sometimes you just have to settle for whoever is teaching that term. It is a bad sign if they don't have their Blackboard syllabus updated or their schedule prepared, and I dislike the teachers who don't open up communication right away. It feels very lonely and you feel distanced from the other students. It's just you and the book. But saying that, there are also the other half of the teachers who are great, helpful, communicative and encouraging. Research if you can!... Read 14 reviews
