Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright University of Oregon provides the quintessential college experience - excellent academics, a very diverse social scene, outstanding athletics, and a plethora of majors to choose from. I am heading into my season year in the fall as a Business Administration major with a concentration in Sports Marketing. The Business program here is fantastic, though quite rigorous and has a ridiculous grading system that makes sure that students don't fall out of the "B" range. It is quite difficult to obtain A's in this program. Aside, from the quirky grading scale, the program is quite good. The Business program places an emphasis on teammate, which helps prepare students for the working world. There is also an Honors Business program available for students who really excel academically (3.8+ gpa). On the social front, there are so many different things to get involved with at this school such as political clubs, intramural sports, the outdoors program, cultural clubs, greek life, student government (ASUO). Most people are aware of the athletics here, so I don't think that needs to be discussed any further. One of the best qualities of this school is the people. Most people are very friendly and easygoing. Education Quality: A+, Campus Maintenance: A- Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I was thrilled when I received my acceptance letter from the University of Michigan. Little did I know that in the coming weeks, I would find out that Michigan had offered me no financial aid, thus I would be staying in Oregon for college. A wave of disappointment swept over me when I heard this news. I went to Oregon with a very negative attitude. My parents even told me that if I really did like it in Eugene, they would allow me to transfer to Michigan after two years and help me obtain loans. After my first week of college, I came to realize that not receiving financial aid from Michigan turned out to be a blessing in disguise. My four years at Oregon were the best of my life. I double majored in Math and Economics and was also in the honors college. My professors were brilliant, kind, and generally gave interesting lectures. Some were too consumed in their research, but they still made an effort to help when they had free time. The atmosphere at Oregon is terrific. It's a great mix of people in terms of personality. The great thing about this school is the camaraderie it displays, especially their football season. This school becomes a giant family during Fall term. Eugene is a fun college town. I don't think I'd want to live there my entire life, but it was great place to be as a college student. If you are a high achieving in state student who is looking to explore the prestigious out of state schools (like Michigan and Berkeley), don't discount the U of O. It's the best public school in the state and is a lot better than I expected academically. What impressed me most was how many of my peers placed into high caliber grad schools (including myself).
