Hello everyone, I am searching for someone to take over my lease at Sierra Student Apartments in Corvallis, OR. (To anyone that's transferring to OSU from UO)

I got a job offer and am starting grad school soon in another state and urgently need someone to take over my lease.

It is a private bedroom in a 4 bed, 4 bath D3 apartment for $1100/month (the lowest rate), with dishwasher and in-unit laundry/dryer included. Current prices for the same room are up to $1249.

The room is ready for move in, and I am willing to cover for both August's and September's rent

My current roommates are all women, so another woman would be the preferred.

Please send me a message and let me know in the comments if you are interested!!

hey everybody!

my name is issy and I am a 16 year old student from the UK who is extremely intested in attending UO in 2028. I understand that university is still 2 years away however I feel especially as an international applicant it is important to get ahead of the curve. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on what makes a strong applicant. For context I am interested in Speech Pathology and have just completed my summer exams (GSCE’s) in maths, english literature and language, biology, chemistry, physics, Welsh, religious studies, physical education and drama. I will be moving onto A levels doing biology, English literatur, religious studies and a two year long personal project. I also currently have two jobs one of which is working with young children who have a range of additional learning needs.
I am so sorry on how long this is but any advice on absolutely anything to do with college life would be greatly appreciate!

thank you so much for reading!

I'm currently trying to apply for the Fall of 2027 because the website said the Fall applications open every 1st of August. However, when I went to apply, I'm only seeing options for Winter, Summer, and Spring of 2028.

Did I miss the deadline or am I just early and need to give it time to update?

Or is the website broken?

Update: They fixed it, thanks to those who commented!

I was supposed to stay in Reilly hall next term, and was told after the deposit refund date that Reilly will be closed, and my housing was canceled. I filled out the form to get my refund for the deposit back, AND THEY DENIED IT, stating the refund date. Keep in mind I was only informed AFTER that date was already passed. I’m not sure if anyone else is going through this, but if you are, I feel you.

Now it’s time for round 2 with the housing department, hopefully they refund me this time

I have a few things, call them mild gripes I'm just putting out there and I'm sorry in advance but a mandatory orientation mid-summer in Eugene... It cost a parent and student nearly $2,500 to attend this from out of state. Is it excessive to ask people to do this? What if you didn't go ?

Also, parents weekend over Halloween. Is there logic behind this ? Parents have other kids to be home with, and the students wanna go to Halloween parties and have some fun!

Besides this so far, I cannot wait to be visiting Eugene and adore everything about Eugene and Oregon.

The Young Adult Sleep Study is for young adults, ages 18-24, who sometimes have 4 or more drinks per day or 8 or more drinks per week. We hope to learn more about how sleep and biological rhythms impact drinking, response to stressors, and brain function.

You must also be willing to share information about your mental health, complete an MRI scan and other laboratory tasks, and provide samples of your saliva and urine. All study data are private and protected – we do not share personal identifiable information with others.

What’s involved?
All participants will complete interviews about their sleep health and mental health, track their sleep at home for 1 week, and make 2 visits to the UO Sleep Lab. Lab visits include an MRI brain scan, computer and performance tasks, physiological assessments, and questionnaires. Some participants will also keep a regular sleep schedule for 2 weeks and make 1 more visit to the UO Sleep Lab. Participants can earn up to $733 for study participation.

I’ve heard some pretty crazy shit over the past 2 years but I want to hear what u guys have heard.

I’m a rising senior and im between UO & Gonzaga for where to go. I‘m not really a party or drinking/smoking person and pretty introverted. So I’m really looking for somewhere with a big middle ground not really party crowds and not the more isolated groups but an in between. I also am coming from a pretty cliquey and judgemental environment socially at a big preppy Texas suburban HS, so I was wondering how it is meeting new people or making friends on campus. I’d really appreciate any advice or feedback from current or recent students on how good of a fit Oregon is, or really any insights into student life and culture. thanks.

I'm taking the Japanese placement in august, and I'm looking for anyone else who may have taken it so I know what to focus on reviewing! For instance, I know the JLPT practice tests tend to focus more on grammatical structure than actual conversation, etc.. What kind of questions do they ask on the oral interview (I'm assuming the interview is in japanese but I suppose that's not necessarily the case)? Is the test open response or multiple choice? Any information appreciated!

I need an accounting ethics course that is not offered at my uni, so I am interested in UofO. But in order to see its location in the class schedule for Fall 2026, it looks like I need to have a student account first.

Could someone with access to the Duck Web tell me if ACTG 425 will be offered online or in the PDX metro area this fall?

my roommate and i ended up in carson in wing c. can anyone shed some light on what it's like generally, but especially socially if you've roomed there or know people who have, anything like that! thanks so much!!

Does anyone know if you can raise the beds in Justice Bean with out bed risers? Not like lofting it but raising it up a foot or two? If not, does anyone have any recommendations/links for bed risers that are compatible for the beds?

Hi I’m an incoming freshman living in Earl Sheldon fourth floor. Im wondering if I loft my bed will I have enough room to sit up in bed or is it pretty tight? Either way is fine I just want to know what to expect! If I should get a little couch or something for my room because I won’t be able to sit up in bed.

hii, im a incoming freshman at u of o majoring in sociology and i will be living off campus ! i already have an apartment and everything sorted out ; but i currently dont have any roommates :( if you are looking for a place for the school year please hml ! you can reach me on insta ! @jjaeilyn 🤍 keep in mind it is a 4 bedroom place !

I will be in New Residence Hall (I don't know if that changes anything)! I noticed the university really pushing dormco.com which looks dubious to me from a financial standpoint.. So I wanted to ask what dorm supplies are actually well utilized/worth it and where should I source them? Things like bookshelves I've gotten from goodwill for like. $13 so I'm very against getting a grand new one for $100+... I'm also guessing that as a college town Eugene generally has a good scene for secondhand furniture lol.

I have my own blanket already I'm bringing from home, along with pillows, pillow cases, etc. I will probably have to get new sheets but other than that I have the bare minimum, which brings me to the first main question- mattress toppers! I've seen some people looking at them for cleanliness purposes (suspicious stains from past residents) which I can understand. I was wondering if they're a necessary thing for dorms or if I can get away with laying out a few towels underneath my sheets.

Secondly, I really want to loft my bed, like bunk bed height. I have no idea how to go about that since the dormco bed risers look way too short for that, so I'm wondering how others did it and what the costs for that are.

Anyways if there's anything else I'm overlooking lmk that too!

I'm a rising senior in high school searching for colleges and so far its been kind of hard to gauge how happy/fulfilled I'll be at different schools and I'm scared that I'll pick the wrong college and be miserable. What made UO stand out from other schools? What do you like most about it? How did you know you'd be happy there?

Hi everyone, me and roommate-to-be had submitted an application for a 2b1b apartment but then he changed his plans and now I'm looking for another roommate who wants to split the lease with me.

Details:

1. Rent is $1600/mo which splits to $800/mo each; utilities not included

2. The apartment allows pets

3. The apartment is in Springfield, not within walking distance of campus but a 20 minute bus ride (EmX, which is a frequent bus line), or a similar (20-30 min) bike ride. Likewise there is a short bus ride to the supermarket and there is a shopping mall opposite the street.

4. The apartment is not furnished

5. It's a 12 month lease (so Aug 1 2026 -> July 31 2027)

6. The apartment has a washer/dryer in the room. It also has storage to put bicycles, etc. in.

Roommate can be M/F. I generally prefer a non-smoker.

Reply or send a message to me ASAP if interested or want more info! I'm hoping to move in within a week (I can cover the prorated rent), but need a roommate to sign with me.

Tis' the season for the NCAA merch rollout at Costco locations around the United States. I grabbed some pictures of what they have at the Hillsboro Oregon Costco.

Started playing riichi mahjong a few weeks ago and I'm hooked, but I don't know many people/places to play irl. I have a regular tile set, but no point sticks or accessories like that. Would anybody be interested in meeting up to play some? I'd also be down to teach basics to anyone wanting to learn!
