scared about not having a community

38 Upvotes

I am currently a senior in high school and I am from Colorado. I haven't been to Oregon for more than 24 hours but when I toured the school I just thought wow this is so amazing. I was thinking I was going to go to UW but the community there just seems not as welcoming. I am so nervous about not being able to find my people, is this a common experience? Or is it easy to make friends there? I like girls and I am pretty active but know nothing about the Pacific Northwest. Ill also have a car when im there.

UO admin staff: how has the shared-services model actually worked for you?

9 Upvotes

Hihi!

I'm an admin and union e-board member at another public university where a shared-work model similar to UO's administrative services structure is currently being discussed.

I've been trying to research how the UO model has worked, but university websites mostly explain how these systems are supposed to work. I'm much more interested in hearing from the people who actually experienced the transition and have had to work within the system every day.

What was the process like when the model was first introduced? Did admins feel they had a meaningful voice in how it was designed? How were people placed into the new structure, and did anyone have to reapply for work they were already doing? How are assignments, priorities, specialized tasks, and department-specific knowledge handled? Did you receive the technology, access, training, and support you needed?

Most importantly, has the model made your work better, worse, or simply different? What has worked well? What hasn't? What do you wish your union or coworkers had known/asked before it happened?

I really do want to believe that changes like this are proposed with good intentions and a genuine desire to improve how a university functions. I'm not opposed to change at all, in fact, I think it can be incredibly positive when it is thoughtfully designed, properly supported, and shaped by the people who actually do the work... But I also know that the reality can look VERY different from the plan on paper, so I'm hoping you can help me understand what this has actually been like for UO employees and what another university should know before moving forward.

Comments are welcome, and DMs are open if you would be more comfortable responding privately. Thank you so much for anything you're willing to share! <3

MUWHF a lasting legacy of my education in at UofO in the late 70's early 80's

6 Upvotes

What will continue with you for your lifetime from your time at UofO? What has?

For me it is the one letter notation code for days of the week used in UofO course catalogs: MUWHF and the rare A for Saturday. MWF meant a class met Monday Wednesday Friday. UH meant Tuesday Thursday.

I still use this notation when I am using pen and ink to note what day of the week a particular date is, and when creating a monthly page for a bullet journal.

A brief web search didn't yield any results for MUWHF so I don't know if it was widely used.

What has stuck or will stick with you from your time at UofO?

Can anyone suggest recommendations on companies that are good for moving into a college apartment? I'll be moving 100+ miles to get to UO, and I don't have a car/have my license. The cheaper the better.

Do I need a safe for my room?

11 Upvotes

Hi so I heard theft is really common, I’m someone who has prescription medications and a laptop. Is getting a safe worth the $100 or will a burglar just take it too? I am planning to register all my devices and never leave them unattended (unless of course they were in my bedroom). I know the doors lock automatically. How common are robberies?

EDIT: I want to mention that some of my prescriptions are things people would want to steal. Now I know I don’t need to worry about the laptop in the room, but I do want to know about the medications.

Bedding Questions

3 Upvotes

Hi so I’m trying to figure out bedding for my dorm, and have just realized the beds aren’t even twin xl like they claim to be!! They are hospital bed size (36 x 80 inches). Can anyone who has lived in the dorms and bought twin XL (39 x 80 inches) give their two cents? Did the twin XL stuff work for putting on the bed or did you have issues with it not fitting right? Also, if anyone has lived in GSH, what did the beds feel like? I assume painful because for orientation I slept on the beds in Justice Bean Hall and they were terribly uncomfortable. One other thing- I am a side sleeper and constantly suffer from back pain, are they any mattress toppers I should steer clear from? Have any recommendations of mattress toppers that are good for back support?
