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.

Sophomore: I have really enjoyed my time at Chemeketa. I have taken both in-person and online classes, and both have been very well organized and the teachers have been excellent in their fields. Community college gets a lot of flack, but I feel like I made a really smart choice going here first, exploring my options, and getting my associate's at a much lower price. The advisors, tutors, and other admin staff are incredibly kind and helpful, and want to see you succeed. Most of my experience so far has been at the Yamhill Valley Campus, which has wonderful lighting, technology access, and studying areas. I highly recommend attending Chemeketa if you are considering post-secondary education, whether that be just a few classes or working toward a graduate degree. I want to give a special shout out to my favorite teacher there: Keely Baca! I love her teaching style and personality, and all of her anthropology classes have been wonderful; she's the reason I'm going into museum work!... Read 790 reviews
