Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With a school as large as the University of Oregon, it can be easy for students to become lost in the crowd or feel distant from professors and faculty. Professors at the UO, however, always make themselves readily available several times a week, both during office hours and outside of class. Some students complain that the faculty seems too focused on research, and in certain cases this may be true. However, professors naturally vary in teaching style, and most are passionate about their subjects. Despite how harsh the professors may seem at times, with overwhelming homework assignments or a horrific midterm exam, they are there in your best interests and to help you get the most out of your college experience.

Most students disapprove of the general academic requirements and lower-level classes, due to overcrowding and broad, general coursework. Once you get into a major and start taking specialized courses through your department, however, it gets much more bearable—even enjoyable, in most cases. It’s not Harvard or Yale, but the UO provides a wealth of opportunities to those who take advantage of them.

Business School

In terms of my own major i'm very satisfied with my education at UO, though it should be noted that the business school here is the one of the best if not the best college within the university.

Intertwined Departments

I love the fact that as an architecture major, I am able to cross over into fine arts and landscaping as well as other departments and take their courses while having the credits count towards my degree. They do a great job in trying to merge different programs together because they believe that it'll make more well-rounded students and professionals. I can even take furniture design studios as an architecture student! I love it.
