University of Oregon Reviews

"The University of Oregon is an excellent school. I received a BA in Journalism from the School of Journalism and Communications. Their instructors were current and very knowledgeable of the field. They provided many opportunities for internships and hands-on learning. For example, I was a contributor to Flux Magazine which is a student run publication. They allowed me to really dig into the article content, which I worked on for nearly three months. The result was an truly immersive experience of what I could expect as a journalism professional. I highly recommend anyone to consider a BA in Journalism from the University of OregonRead Less"

"The University of Oregon's educational foundations major is a cohort style which helps students learn together throughout the program and share their experiences. The professors are passionate and educated in their fields and provide a solid example for the type of teacher they wish for you to become. They utilize a social justice framework which is important for how diverse schools are becoming. The downside to this program is that it doesn't give you a license so without a master's degree you are not a licensed teacher and will not be able to be a head teacher in a classroom with this degree. The University of Oregon has also become very expensive in tuition and raises each year make the financial burden heavy.Read Less"

"At the time I attended the UofO Business School, there was an effort to reduce the class sizes because the program was very popular. Consequently, grading was a bit tough. But, the professors were good and they helped prepare us for our careers and in my case, the CPA exam and a career in financial management as well as general business management."

"I attended the University of Oregon for my Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. I really enjoyed the school and felt it was a perfect fit for me. The campus is absolutely beautiful and well kept. All buildings were within walking distance and easily accessible. The library was exceptionally large with more than enough computers and study rooms for people to rent out and use. I really enjoyed the instructors at the University as well. In the Psychology department more specifically, the instructors were passionate and engaged with their students. The city itself was quant and enjoyable. It was easy to get around and everything was either within walking distance, or a short bus ride away. The only issues I can recall at this point were having to physically wait in line for football tickets which I was unable to do due to work, although that process has since changed. I also did not feel fully supported in finding work post graduation but feel that may not be a unique problem. I would attend the University again if I had to go back. I miss it often and think highly of the University!Read Less"

"This program has been wonderful to be in. I recommend it because it is inclusive to diverse populations and stresses that as a theme of the program. The CFT program requires deep thinking and self-reflection which I feel will make any cohort member a productive therapist in their future. The program gives the students as many resources as possible. We as graduate students get after hours access to our main building for studying, as well as a graduate study space in two different complexes elsewhere. The professors are professional, but still very personable. The expectations of assignments and progress in the whole program are made very clear. Overall, I love this program. It is a lot of work in and out of the classroom, but I would not change it or anything.Read Less"

"The U of O has a great education program, especially their Special Education. It's one of the best and has an amazing research arm to it as well. They run the EasyCBM and DIBELS sites for student monitoring and data collection. They do an excellent job of placing students in classrooms near where they live and work hard to prepare the next generation of teachers."

"The architecture faculty all have impressive backgrounds. Each have studied at some of the countries finest architecture schools, and have worked with some of the greats. You'll definitely find a mentor fits you along the way. The school also provides many resources to help students obtain jobs/internships. Many of the graduating students all have jobs upon graduating."

"I'm just starting out in the EMBA program and just completed our residency week. I thought our first 4 days together were well thought out and provided both an esprit de corps and a good foundation on which to build. I was a bit surprised at how introspective the program made me after my first week, but am looking forward to learning and exploring more."

"I loved my college experience! The school is big enough to get the PAC-12 "college" feel, but small enough that you recognize faces around campus. Also love the high-ranked academic programs!"

"it was a great experience; I was able to learn so much about my speciality and about a lot of things and the most important thing is to have good friends."

"It is difficult but worth it for job obtainment to obtain at least a bachelors."

"I really enjoyed my time there and I loved the campus."

"I had a great time at U of O and enjoyed all of my classes, my direction in life at the time was not well thought out so I did not come out with a very good launch pad towards a career. I think that in general schools should educate their students more on what opportunities are available once you have a degree in a field and this should be done within the first year of college so that students have a better chance of picking the correct career path. In all fairness to the campus I did not use the advisor facilities as much as I probably could have, however they did not reach out it was fully presumed at the time that you would do that. I finished a bit early with exactly the minimum credits to graduate and all of my decisions on what to take were through readying the course book. It was easy to map out what I needed to graduate, what I found though was I could have used some advice on what might be helpful later when pursuing a graduate degree or in direction of career. What can one do with a Geography, environmental studies Bachelor of Science.... kind of thing . Anyways, I would recommend the university the class quality was great, and the campus is great for getting out into the outdoors if you are looking for that. I found that professors varied but as I got further along in my degree the instruction got better as the class size got smaller.Read Less"

"I have had a few years to think about and review my educational experience at the University of Oregon. It is important to say right away that I do not believe that the education I received is worth the amount of money I paid for the program. The school did a terrible job of helping students network and find opportunities after graduation. Most of my classmates struggled to find work after graduation and even though most are employed now, they are underemployed and underpaid. The student loan payments are staggering and most employers want to hire a graduate from a more highly-ranked program. Even if you are lucky enough to find a position, the education you receive does not teach you to practice law. There are better law schools out there.Read Less"

"Human Physiology Department at University of Oregon is remarkable- from the staff, faculty, and fellow students, everyone is vested in helping you succeed and prepare for your future career! I could not have chosen a different field of study to prepare me for graduate studies and for my career."

"I went to the University of Oregon and majored in Family and Human Services. I was originally nervous because I was transferring in from a small private college to large public college. I was pleasantly surprised when I entered into my major because I instantly felt like I was back at my private college. Every professor knew who we were, and our classmates were very bonded together. I also became very invested in the community. I highly suggest FHS at the University of Oregon"

"University of Oregon is very vibrant, diverse, and dynamic. There are so many ways to get involved on campus. The downfall of the school are the large class sizes - there are classes that can have more than 100 students! However, overall the teaching was great, and there were tons of resources available for students."

"The University of Oregon has a place for everyone. Despite it's large, flagship school exterior, the University provides a highly personalized and unique academic and extracurricular experiences. As a Human Physiology major and Art History major, I have glowing reviews. After a brief period attending several other Universities, I was blown away by Oregon's Human Physiology Department resources and hands-on learning opportunities. I had the opportunity to participate in cadaver dissection and many Physiology experiments. The Department also offers countless relevant and creative classes such as Physiology of Exercise; Tissue Injury and Repair; Science of Sleep; Physiology of Obesity and more. Additionally, the Art History department was spectacular. I had professors that continually exceeded my expectations and ended up being the reason I chose to minor in Art History. Beyond academics, the University of Oregon campus is one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever visited. The student culture is active, inclusive, and focused on promoting ways of achieving balance and wellness as a busy student.Read Less"

"University of Oregon is a school that promotes diversity which is something I appreciated having while attending for my undergraduate degree, I feel this truly enriched my undergraduate experience. The school offer a wide array of classes for many varying degrees, and I found the quality of instructors to be far superior than what I would've expected. Additionally I found the ease of using the various online systems to be an added bonus, coming from someone who is not technologically savvy!"

"The University of Oregon allows one to delve into their learning. The resources and library are expansive and incredible. I have always, on a personal level, loved the cultural convergence that one gets to experience at the university. You get to meet people from all over the world who can share their experiences and the qualities of their home with you. The teachers are very knowledgeable, and were easy to approach for me. They are very invested in your education and your future. The campus itself is large and beautiful, especially in the spring time. There are many places to study, both individually and as a group. I spent much of my time in the Knight Library, finding new places to study. I also enjoyed all the different activities, lectures, and presentations that occur on a regular basis on campus. I would recommend the University of Oregon to anyone who would love the cultural environment, and the beautiful nature that surrounds the campus.Read Less"
