Sophomore: It was pretty great. For being a small community college, they offered many different types of courses, and every instructor I've had in my classes so far have been really helpful and kind. I never had any issues with any classes and always found support when I needed it. The classes themselves were very rewarding. I always left a class feeling like I really learned something. Moreover, the facilities here are modern, easy to get around, and overall just very clean and pleasant. The only issues I really had with attending this school was its website. It's slightly outdated, and trying to find certain information can be difficult at times. Some links just don't work, and some pages regarding student information, such as student finances or scholarships, barely have any information on them. They look uncompleted, but they still have them on their website as if they're resources that can be used by students. Still, overall, the experience attending this school has been great....

Sophomore: Portland Community College has such wonderful professors that really care about their students. Professors were kind, accommodating, and willing to listen to their students. They are interested in the success of their students. I really enjoyed going to PCC, especially learning about topics that weren't discussed in high school. I love the online format that PCC uses, it is easy to understand and can be easily explained to new students. PCC is the place to go when you start or continue your college journey!...

Alum: I absolutely loved my experience at Central Oregon Community College. The faculty is incredible and the tuition is some of the lowest in the state, which is incredibly helpful because Bend's cost of living is quite high. I graduated with an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree, which was readily accepted at Oregon State University when I applied as a transfer student. My favorite professors were Christopher Hazlett and Fleur Prade, who both had unique personalities that they wove into their instruction. Though my personal review of the college is 5 out of 5 stars, I have concerns with the overall ADA accessibility of the campus. Classes in Grandview and Ochoco Hall are extremely difficult to reach for those with mobility limitations. To ensure an inclusive environment and equitable education for all of its students, I believe it is crucial for the college to find a way to address these issues.... Read 559 reviews

Senior: Overall my experience at Southern Oregon University was successful. I, along with many other students who attend Southern Oregon University was a transfer student. I really enjoyed the small-town mountain vibes, but it was very hard to adjust. Once you come to terms with the fact that this is not the typical state school and college environment, it starts to get better. My faculty and professors have always been very kind and respectful, not just me, but to everyone in my classes. The school has some administrative issues that often get in the way of students being successful. This school really has the opportunity to be something special and is gaining popularity quickly. The Arts seem to thrive here and people come from all over the US to live in the Rogue Valley. Although Southern Oregon is not the typical college experience but I wouldn’t have it any other way!...

Alum: I graduated from RCC in 2018, with an associates in psychology and an associates in business. During my time there, I was the Diversity Coordinator in student government, the President of the Rainbow Club, and I worked in both the student services office and the library. Overall, I had an amazing experience. The professors were knowledgeable, the classes were engaging, and the advisors were incredibly helpful. I even met my husband at RCC! I would highly recommend RCC for anybody who is looking to take core classes (less expensive than university), and they make transferring to an eligible 4-year-university easy, and will help you along the way....

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....

Freshman: I really love how close EOU is to outdoor recreation opportunities! It is a beautiful campus and La Grande is a gorgeous town! Being an NAIA school, I am able to play sports here too which makes it so much more enjoyable. Those who are looking into the Nature and Outdoor Recreation Leadership concentration of Health and Human Performance should beware that most Outdoor classes are online still as the program is still so small....

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

Junior: As a transfer student, I had an excellent experience matriculating to Eastern Oregon University. Their staff has made it very easy and welcoming to attend their online school. I am an adult learner, and after I explained my situation and the importance of attending online classes, they offered me multiple options to fulfill my needs and supported me along the way. I applied to multiple schools, and EOU was the only institution contacting me right away, assisting me with different options, and offering classes that will help me expedite my graduation based on my work and life experiences....
