College Prowler Take
The University of Oregon has eight different dormitories that cater to a range of needs and budgets. From the large rooms and private bathrooms of Barnhart Hall to the Bean complex, which is affectionately referred to as the “ghetto” dorm, you’ll find many options in campus housing. The UO also provides a placement service to provide different environments for different interests, such as 24-hour quiet floors, substance-free floors, and so on. Although students recommend Barnhart and Carson over other dorms, the friendships and experiences that occur in the tight living quarters of places like Bean and Walton are the ones that stick with you over time. UO always falls short in dorm space, so students should apply early for assured placement. This also means you’re not guaranteed housing for later years, so enjoy the conveniences of dorm life while they last. You should definitely spend your first year in the dorms because this is one of the best places to meet people and make friends. With so many different choices of rooms and communities, it’s largely up to you to make your experience with campus housing what you want it to be.

I live in Barnhart hall, which is the athlete dorm. The rooms are huge and you have your own bathroom. I love my dorm! The only problem is that its five blocks from campus, but it’s right on the bus line. |

Dorm life is dorm life. They are...
Dorm life is dorm life. They are typical, relatively small, and standard dorms. I am in the Bean Complex and would definitely say it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I enjoy the unity and closeness that the guys on my floor and I share. It really is very warm and welcoming because nobody is left out. Just look out for the prevalence of marijuana in the dorms and be sure to grab ear plugs for that annoying roommate that snores in the "weeee" hours of the morning before your 8 a.m. class! All in all, I LOVE the University of Oregon!

UO isn’t known for having great dorms, but seriously, you totally get used to it. It’s not a big deal. All that really matters is how cool the people are and how well you get along. |

The dorms are much too small and dreary. Avoid Bean Complex, but Carson and Barnhart are much nicer. |

As a freshman, you can’t really pick your dorm, just your hall. I am in the Outdoor Pursuits hall where the people tend to be a bit wilder. Health and Fitness and Academic Pursuits halls are much quieter. |
