Bed Ladders

I know that many of the newer residence halls have ladders for loft beds. I’m in an older dorm that doesn’t have these ladders. Is it possible that there are extra, if so where could I find one?

Room change

Hello! I am wanting to change rooms unfortunately but obviously not until after winter break. Does anyone know if I will be able too then and if so, when the forms come out? Also, any idea of the chances of getting a single at this time? Thank you!!

Nonprofit Management Master’s

Hello! I’m from Eugene, but am currently a senior at OHSU-PSU for public health. I want to go to grad school, but for a degree more general (just not to general). There are so many groups of people I want to work with (all in helping related fields). Thus, I was thinking getting a master’s in the nonprofit sphere would be transferable regardless of the group of people being served. I’m also scared of going into government work with the likelihood of a lot of departments being cut or defunded, especially with the new admin..

So, if you know about the nonprofit management masters program or were in it, please let me know your thoughts!

I’ll also add to say I haven’t taken any business classes (except for one econ), & I went to Lane for human services & addiction studies.

Which dorm do freshman generally live in?

Are there specific dorms that freshman tend to live in freshman year? Was accepted last month for Fall 2025 and want to register for housing as soon as it opens, assume you don't pick dorms that soon, but just want an idea of what dorms are best for freshman? Visited campus earlier this month and everything seemed walkable. Thank you!

looking for a roommate to *share* a room within an apartment

hey everyone! i'm a student at UO and i'm looking for housing for next year. unfortunately, my finances are super tight right now so i'm thinking about sharing a room, and splitting the rent in half. is that feasible for apartments around campus? also, PM me if you would be interested in splitting a room! we could move in another bed if it's okay with the apartment, or i'd be willing to sleep on a cot. i can keep my space clean and mind my business :)

Any Environmental Design students?

I plan on attending U of O soon after I finish up at community college. I was eyeing the Landscape Architecture program but I don't want to have to spend 4 years in school in addition to my general ed, so after talking to a professor there I decided on the shorter Environmental Design degree.

If anyone here is a part of that undergrad or a recent graduate I'd love to chat with you a bit and learn more about the program and it's alumni resources. I've tried connecting with U of O advisors to no avail and the professor I first spoke with I think is no longer with the school.

Thanks in advance!

Like new Kindle Scribe

I have a barely used Kindle Scribe. 10 inch screen, Kindle folio cover and deluxe pen. The screen size is amazing but as I am not taking notes with it I think I should have purchased the Paperwhite instead.

If anyone wants it for $200 I can meet up anywhere on campus.

Private mcat tutoring

Offering MCAT tutoring! I scored a 519 (130/127/132/130) this January and recently got into med school. Happy to provide proof if needed. I’ve got access to Kaplan books, online question banks, my personal notes/flashcards, and concept maps that I’ll share with you. I’m flexible with availability and can include med school application advice at no extra charge. Rate is $50/hr, but I’m open to negotiating depending on how many hours you need. I know how overwhelming studying can be, and I’d love to help you navigate it. DM me if interested!

OSU or UO - freshman psych major 2025

My son got accepted to OSU and UO for 2025. Trying to decide between the two. He got WUE from OSU $60,000/4 yrs. Merit scholarship from UO $30,000/4yrs. We are from California. He does have a decent 529 that will pay for the rest. He will be a freshman psych major with an emphasis on criminology/forensics. Question- which of the two would be best for his major, college feel but not JUST college town. He doesn't mind snow but doesn't want to trudge through it to get to class. We still need to tour both campuses. He's coming from a top football high school so he's used to the hype that goes with that. He did cross country all four years and I think UO is known for that especially affiliated with Nike. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Should I apply to the Honors College!

I am a high school junior and would like to know if applying to the UO honors college is worth it. For context, I would major in either Premed or data science. I also have 1440 with some okay extracurriculars. Is the honors college suitable for premed? What are some perks that I get out of it?

VR / AR opportunities

I was wondering if there was anyone who is interested in working with augmented reality as a career goal and the possible opportunity’s that are available at the university of oregon. I know there is a masters that is directed towards that but it involves being some sort of journalism undergraduate degree.

I’m a current CS major with a minor in digital humanities which I have found to be the most practical for this goal of mine, I have thought a lot about art and technology as well to work with 3d models.

I envision the technology becoming as practical as a smartphone, for example when you look at a building the name of it would appear above etc. Practical ways this technology can be used. I could ramble on the uses I have literally written a long ass research paper on it.

If anyone has this same interest as me I would love to connect or if there’s anything I could get involved in that would be amazing!

Is it possible to request a roommate be moved out?

I am in a triple. One of my roommates is great, the other is awful. Some really concerning stuff has just come to light about them and neither of us feel safe rooming with them. Is there a way to request they be moved out instead of the other way around? It doesn’t seem fair for my good roommate and I to have to move out instead, two against one and all that.

Chances of acceptance

Hey im not used to posting on reddit but im very stressed on whether i will get accepted to U of O. I live on an overseas military base and am taking a gap year working full time and traveling. I have a gpa of 3.3 and an SAT of 1130, not great but i struggled a lot during high school with multiple deaths in my family, my parents nearly divorcing, and a very very toxic relationship. i did 4 years of track, 1 year tennis, 1 year debate, Art Honors Society member, worked a part time job, got selected for an art camp in fall 2022 and 2023, and have a silver award and honorable mention from the 2024 scholastic art and writing conpetition. i worked as a TA for the library and a ceramics class. i am currently working 40 hours a week at popeyes and burger king, trying to save as much money as possible and travel Europe while my family and i are stationed here in Germany. I am also getting two letters of reccomendation from my old teacher and coach. really need honest opinions bc im so worried that my gpa and SAT score are going to tank me.

Is it worth it to transfer to U of O for sophomore year?

I'm a first year student at San Diego State University and have't really been feeling at home here. The party scene is very toxic and is almost exclusive to fraternities and sororities which I don't want to be a part of, the sports culture sucks, the campus isn't in a super great location, and I feel like I am not getting a true college experience. I'm wondering if transferring to the U of O is worth the hassle for my sophomore year and if anyone has had similar experiences to me. How hard will it be to get housing there as a transfer student and how hard is it to adjust to the social life? I am also looking for a college in more of a college town where I can get more of a traditional "college experience".

Some additional info:

Not trying to come off as an asshole but money isn't a huge deal for me so if one reason that any of you say I shouldn't come there is because of the cost, it isn't a huge issue for me

U of O was one of my other top choices for college back when I was deciding so I've toured it before and know somewhat what the college is like, just wanted some opinions from current/former students who know more about life there than my very short stay in Eugene.

Any advice would be appreciated, Thank You!
