They are very easy to access and to speak with, especially the financial aid office, since the beginning of the winter semester I've had a lot of problems receiving my financial aid package from FAFSA, and the financial aid team. has been awesome in helping me throughut almost this entire month.

Tyler - 12/29/2021

In Eastern Oregon, there are opportunities for many students who have many different interests when it comes to their future careers. The college has a major focus on academics and helping each individual excel in their own field. Not to mention there's a smaller number of students in the lectures so the professors are able to help and aid each student with problems they have.

Erika - 10/16/2020

Overall Eastern Oregon University is an astonishing school and by far the best choice I made when choosing Universities to attend. One of the best things about EOU is the OTP program which stands for the Oregon Teacher Pathway program. It's a program that helps guide future teachers and provides them with a 4-year plan on how to graduate. I also enjoy how easy it is to get in contact with professors and staffing. EOU has even held many virtual events to keep students engaged. I am glad to say I choose the right University for me.

Miah - 04/14/2020

    La Grande is a rural, agricultural community with a decidedly conservative worldview. There were a lot of rednecks in the bars on the weekends and it could get pretty sketchy sometimes. Winters were cold and long, but decent skiing is close by.
