University of Oregon Top Questions

I wish that I had known that the dorms are WORST rated for the amount of money they cost IN THE COUNTRY and that the professors do not care about their students. It's physically impossible for them to know their students becuase the average lecture class is 300 people. My freshman year I took 4 classes that were 500 people lectures. I choose not to drink or do drugs, and therefore there is no available weekend social life because literally everyone drinks.

I wish I had known what a HUGE deal getting those AP credits in High School would be. Fortunately I got them anyway and was able to graduate a year and a half early. Get all the AP and college-for-credit-now credits that you can get!

I grew up in this town and therefore knew the feel of the community. Their were not too many shocks for me.

How great it would be.

I came from a small town in Oregon, and Eugene was substantially larger in terms of area and population. Before I came to the University of Oregon, I wish that I had known more about the Study Abroad programs, because it has always been my dream to study in Spain, possibly in Barcelona. With living costs going up, I have suspended that pursuit indefinitely to support myself, rent payments, and other living expenses. I knew that living as a college student would be rough at times, but perhaps I underestimated it.

I wish I knew how hard upper division classes were. They require you to study non-stop. If you don't study you won't pass. You must go to class & study. Be ready or be ready to fail!

I wish I had know how demanding some of the workloads from some classes were. I feel I could have performed better in my classes if I had been prepared for how much was needed from me to do well.

As a new student, you can only register after one of the new student orientations. Having a bike is very convenient. If you are looking for a cheap off campus apartment, start very early.

that there wasnt not a whole lot to do in the surounding city.
