University of Oregon Top Questions

There is no stereotype that can fit every student at the University of Oregon, and that's one of the best things about this school. The diversity that the school boasts makes it inevitable for incoming students to find their niche.

There are two distinct stereotypes of students at University of Oregon. First, there are the football fanatics. The Duck football team is well known for its success, Rose Bowl championships, and star athletes. Autzen Stadium is packed for every home game. When people think of U of O, they think football. Critics of the program may also think about the tremendous amount of money spent on the program. However, not every student at UO is a football fanatic. Yes, there are those who party after every game and buy season tickets, but I wouldn't say they are the majority. I know plenty of students who couldn't care less about the football team. If that's what you're into, you'll have no problem finding the football crowed, but that is definitely not all that defines U of O. Secondly, there is the "hippie" stereotype. Being in Eugene, people often associate U of O with liberal environmentalists who preach peace and oppose capitalist ideals. While there are also students who fit into this category, it is not by any means characteristic of the entire student body, and not everyone with these beliefs is the stereotypical "hippie". I would say these two stereotypes are the two extremes at U of O. Most people lie somewhere in between. Everyone finds his/her own niche, which exemplifies the diversity among students at U of O.

The common stereotypes at the University of Oregon are being known as a hippie, stoner and frat kids. Yes, the stereotypes are pretty accurate, or at least from what I see. Now there are more california kids than there are oregon. However, the stereotypes do change every year.

The predominate stereotype about the University of Oregon is that the student body consists of a bunch of "pot-smoking hippies." Oregonians usually contrast the University of Oregon with Oregon State, a more conservative agricultural school. The U of O is definitely a more liberal school but it does not define us as a student body. Although you can find people who enjoy smoking and who are quite liberal, that is not all the campus consists of. The University of Oregon is also well known for its great education, athletics and various organizations that one can join. Many people choose to join the Greek system, to join in on intramural teams or to join in on the student government.

The main stereotype at the University of Oregon about its students is that everyone is a liberal hippie who smokes a lot of pot. Although there are a lot of pot smoking liberals who attend the University of Oregon, there are many other types of students who attend the University as well. There are many organizations that a prospective student can get involved in through the school such as intramural sports teams, the student government, the greek system, outdoor groups, and tons of other clubs such as the geology club, the women's center, etc. So although you may have the opportunity to reinforce the stereotype, there are also plenty of opportunities to make your own decisions in building your own character.

Some common stereotypes of the students at the University of Oregon are mainly hippies and hipsters. Oregon is a very "go green" campus, so there are a lot of students who dress and act the part of tree-huggers, and although there is a lot of diversity at UO, this stereotype for the most part is accurate.
