Academics: If you're coming here for Architecture, Geography, PPPM, Biochem, Journalism, Accounting, or Sport Marketing it's great! Try talking to a Senior or Junior in the program you're interested in who ISN'T provided by the school.
Dorms are great. People will always complain about something but they're really fun dorms, and people always look back with fondness. Mine had a 3D printer and kitchen which was super helpful.
Safety I'm mixed about. Generally UO is pretty safe however in the 3 full years I've been here so far there's been a lot of muggings and drug problems with the frats.
ROI: President Schill makes $720,000/year and has only been increasing tuition while slashing grad student benefits, which is sad because they're a backbone of UO. I could've probably gotten the same education in a year doing YouTube videos and Code Academy, but you have to realize that you're paying for an incredible experience for the next 4 years and that time holds unlimited potential.

University of Oregon is an amazing school and has such amazing people. The whole campus just has an open environment and it feels very judgement free. I really felt like I could be myself at that school even if that didn't fit societies standards of normal. While it has such a freeing environment it also has amazing professors and superb classes. The knowledge that I've gained just through my first year was mind blowing. Most of the negative things that you expect college to be (pretentious, intimidating, exhausting) is not what University of Oregon is. They are almost quite the opposite and I believe whole heatedly that this school was meant for me!
I can’t say enough great things about the SOJC and advertising major. The professors at SOJC are nothing short of amazing - well connected, world travelers, always pushing us to want more. They bring all their decades of experience to us and care so much for their students success. . The SOJC majors provide very intimate settings and deliver tons of hands on training. Professional trips to NY, SF, etc. plus student associations where you can connect with future employers. Allen Hall has an in house ad agency - if you are selected, you will work on ad campaigns for businesses. Your portfolio work begins immediately once you are accepted into the major. And it’s not impacted like most UC universities. The state of the art media lab is constantly being upgraded to remain a pioneer in the industry. Some students groan about the extra course work for gen ed but the requirements for economics etc makes us well rounded academically. Sco Ducks!
