Overall my experience at UO has been great! COVID has made it challenging to get as involved with campus activities as I would have liked. The classes I've taken have been high-quality and engaging. The campus is pretty, although some classrooms and student accommodations could use some upgrades, especially in terms of accessibility. I've had some unique opportunities with extracurricular activities and academic opportunities. It would be nice if there were more funding/scholarship opportunities for nontraditional students and students with financial challenges. The location is great, since there are so many things to do outdoors here. Go Ducks!
This university is great for anyone who struggles with a disability. The Accessible Education Center will work with students and their professors to create amazing accommodation plans, and I've never come across a professor who gave me any trouble for using my accommodations. Professors and graduate student instructors make themselves available to help students succeed. Most of the student body passionately supports diversity and social justice issues. There are so many amazing campus organizations - LGBTQ+, First Generation Students, Collegiate Recovery Center, Nontraditional Student Union, Women in STEM, and so many more that I couldn't possibly list them all! Also, I was shocked by the quality of the dorm food on campus. There's a huge range of cuisines to choose from, and everything I've ever had has been delicious.
During my time at the University of Oregon, I've nothing but amazing experiences both in classes and socially. The school spirit on campus is great; the majority of people you meet at extremely outgoing and staff are always ready to help with anything you might need. Being a highly nike-invested school, sports are a big deal- you can always expect a group going to any game/event possible. The food is definitely better than other colleges but you'll still miss food from home every now and then. No matter what kind of person you are, you'll always find people to talk to in classes, clubs or even in your dorm hall!
