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. Students Speak Out

Amazing! I think we have some of the best professors in the U.S. They are all willing to meet with you outside of class, and they are some of the most intriguing people I’ve ever met. |

Teachers are knowledgeable, but classes are usually big, or teachers have large workloads, so they don’t seem as accessible. The classes that I have to take can be interesting, but of course, the ones I get to choose are always better. |

UO teachers are nothing like I expected. This is only my first year of college, and I was prepared for the worst. I heard that teachers in college didn’t care at all about the students, but that has proven to be completely untrue. The teachers really encourage you to go to their office hours to get help or just to discuss topics that you’ve gone over in class. The teachers are very interesting and passionate about the subjects they teach. |

The teachers vary in their experiences and teaching styles. I have had instructors who are passionate about their topic and extremely adept at lecturing; others are dry and boring. It helps to try to find out about professors beforehand. I find most of my classes very intriguing now that I’m focusing on my major. However, some of the undergraduate classes such as science courses were not of interest to me. |

In the journalism and political science departments, our teachers are awesome! I’ve taken two philosophy courses, and both my professors were really good. We have our share of bad teachers, but after your first term, you’ll be aware of the teachers you should avoid. |
