Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Great for the First Year

Dorms are great for meeting people as a freshman. After freshman year, no one lives on campus. They are not all super nice and spacious but I have loved my experience in the dorms. The RA's are cool and everything is so convienent! LLC is the nicest dorm, but I lived in Earl, which is the closet to everything (2 mins walk to class) and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

I lived in a very new building and it was great. This is likely attributed to the fact that this was the newest residence hall on campus. Rooms were spacious, even with a roommate, centrally located (like most dorms at UO), and real sense of community among residents. I very much enjoyed my housing on campus.
