Love THIS SCHOOL
Overall 5
Being a quarter system, I get more options to stay engaged and not get bored of subjects and if I hate a professor, it is over quickly. The campus is large but not huge which is great and being a medium-large institution with the high-level facilities and research there are so many more opportunities to get involved and do whatever you'd like.

This is a great school to attend I'm a non-traditional student transfer in. The school has been very supportive and with excellent professors in the Lundquist College of Business. Send your kids here I will hopefully see both my kids become Ducks.... Go Ducks......

Bad reviews
Overall 1.1
abysmal career resources and class availability
Overall 1.2
Finished with a 3.5 GPA. Had to teach myself virtually every class. The professors are horrible. I would not go here again and 2/3 of the year is rainy and cold.
Overall 1.3
The wifi sucks. Nobody cares about you. I should not have come here.
Overall 1.4
The professors are all power hungry bullies.
Overall 1.4
Mediocre education. Even worse career resources

Eugene has very little for younger people to do. Also, the city is run by retirees who almost openly resent the change caused by the UO. This greatly contributes to a vibrant party scene that still somehow borders on dangerous desperation. There’s an elitist, conservative streak you don’t see at first, and a lot of crime. Plus, rain and smoke.

Overall staff and professors dont care about students only care about their reputation and good looks. Majors suck and if you want to go somewhere to actually learn I wouldnt go to the university of Oregon.
