The University of Oregon is a great school with ample funding, highly qualified staff, a great student body, and many clubs and extracurriculars to choose from. It is located in a small yet lovely town with lots of outdoor activities, beautiful hikes, and good dining spots to choose from. Students tend to feel supported by their mentors and peers. One drawback is that a majority of the funding goes toward athletics and STEM, so the great little humanities and arts programs are often left without sufficient funding. Expect a robust party scene, with loud nights on campus when the weather gets nicer. The best way to take advantage of the UO's resources is by getting involved, so put yourself out there!
Coming from a place like South Dakota, Oregon was a huge change. What captivated me the most was the laid-back, easygoing attitudes of West Coast natives. Compared to South Dakotans, they were more accepting, easy to approach, and just overall enjoyable people. In addition, the campus is beautiful and lively with flora and wildlife--most notably, ducks! However, the price tag, along with the self-interested, acquisitive behavior displayed by much the administration tarnishes the great image of the UO.
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.
