The best public university in Oregon

Located in the very liberal town of Eugene. Known for top rated programs in Business, Journalism, Psychology, Chemistry, and Physics.

Also known for being the lovechild of Nike. Nike's CEO Phil Knight attended UO and pours a shit load of money into the school, especially into their athletic programs.

The Oregon Ducks have some best athletic facilities in the nation. The Ducks consistently place near the top of the Pac 10 in men’s basketball and football.

The girls are hot, the guys are average, the grass is green, and the beer is flowing. What more do you want from a college?
If you want to go to a school in a rural area, with average academics (besides engineering), a dominant greek life (if you're not apart of it, forget about partying), and a horrible basketball team - then go to Oregon State.

If you want to go to a good school with great weed, lots of house parties, chill people, and great sports teams across the board, then go to University of Oregon.

Flagship university of Oregon. Liberal arts college that spends most of its money on sports, but does have good programs in business, biology, psychology, and other majors. Lots of rapes occur here, particularly at fraternities. Also home to some of the rudest people in Oregon, although there are a few good souls.

A UO Student

University of Oregon: Keeping ugly girls out of Oregon State University since 1876. The students that attend the University do so just because of the football team, they can't ever get tickets to the game for.

A poorly run school that doesn't even educate very many Oregonians (50% of the student body is from Oregon). 25% of the student body hails from sunny CA. The bulk of these students could NOT get into UC schools or even Cal State schools, so they end up in Eugene. Many are rich and arrogant.

Increasingly this school is an extension of Nike. Dumb students and alumni think that is something to be proud of and love to flaunt the "O"... Their "O" logo was even designed by Nike. This further illustrates how backwards Oregon is... Philip Knight actually made this school much worse with his Duck Athletics empire building. The school spends millions of dollars on branding, putting flashy lipstick on an unremarkable school. It's all quite tragic. As of 2022, it costs $15k/yr to attend this school.

The smart faculty get out of Eugene because they know UO is a disgrace. Meanwhile the rest of the nation mocks the school. The smart Oregonians DO NOT GO TO UO (AKA "You-Owe". Instead they go to Oregon State and more recently Portland State, or out-of-state. They literally need to bribe Oregonians with scholarship money to attend "You-Owe".

Here's another shocking figure. Between 1992 and 2022 the school raised over $4.5b in philanthropy. All that money went to a sinking ship. They were not very strategic when it came to fundraising and are decades behind other institutions when it comes to job ready majors.
Do not go to the University of Oregon. Go to a community college and transfer to a more respectable institution.

A 4 year university in Eugene, Oregon. They usually accept the kids that were too stupid to get into Oregon State University. They are known for blowing way too much money on sports, and most graduates will spend their adult life flipping burgers and wishing they had attended Oregon State instead.
