University Of Oregon • Eugene, OR
Studying Business Management (completion in 2005)
• 7/21/2011
"I wouldn't have changed it for the world. I'm very happy that I lived in Eugene and attended the U of O."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | It's a great place to live. Also, the campus is beautiful. Go DUCKS! |
| Program Reputation | 9 | I feel the school had a great reputation. Phil Knight attended there. |
| Program Quality | 8 | The U of O was a great school with very good faculty. The scenery didn't hurt either. |
| Instruction | 9 | Schooling was hard and strenuous at times, but well worth it. My professors were even well known nationally. |
| How Difficult | 6 | I find a lot of business stuff easy to learn. Marketing was my initial passion and helped me develop a love for what I do now. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It is a more liberal college. Teachers tend to be a little more out of the ordinary in terms of their teaching styles. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 6 | Sometimes it was hard to get the classes I wanted. Sometimes it was hard scheduling classes at good times of the day. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | The campus was highly updated. I didn't really have anything to complain about. |
| Social Life | 10 | Oregon is the best. An hour from the ocean, an hour from the mountains, a great place to live. |
| Placement Services | 9 | With Nike's main headquarters being right next door, there is a major player right in your area in Oregon. Also, California is directly south and has plenty of opportunities. |
| Alumni Network | 8 | Oregon was a great school. It was worth every dollar I put into going there and the campus was amazing because the owner of Nike was an alum. |
Portland Community College • Portland, OR
Studying Science (completion in 2012)
• 12/1/2011
"If I did not have to take an in lab class for a graduation requirement I would give the school a 10. It is an excellent school with excellent professors and I have had a seamless process working through my program and am almost ready to graduate."

| Would Recommend? | yes | They have an excellent office and human resources program that I would highly recommend to anyone. I have been very pleased with the options available to me in work related subjects and have taken a lot from these classes. I am hoping to work my way up from Sales Manager to Human Resources Assistant Manager upon completion of classes. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | The only problem currently seen by online students is the ability to complete all requirements for degree completion online. I am going to have to take a lab-based science class at my local community college, which takes time away from my work schedule. This is not ideal, but is necessary for graduation. |
| Program Quality | 9 | Professors are extremely helpful and class offerings are geared toward my degree program as well as career enhancement. |
| Instruction | 9 | As an online student, I do not have the same direct professor contact as a traditional student, but my professors do try to be available for questions and emails, as well as forum postings. I am currently 1 term from accomplishing my Associate's Degree, but in addition I am taking classes to assist me in my work, such as Humor in the Workplace and Time-Stress-Communication in the Workplace. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I do not feel that I am being challenged more or less than I would be at any other school or in any other program of study. At this time I am taking general education units with the enhancement of human resources classes. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Each week we are study chapters, answer questions in the back of the book and submit using Dropbox. We do have the opportunity to use a discussion forum and interact with classmates, but I have yet to do much hands on. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Being an online student I have all the flexibility in the world. This helps me greatly as my schedule is ever-changing. I can take classes Fall through Spring with financial aid, pay for summer classes and my "class" time is whenever I can do my work, so long as I meet my weekly deadlines. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | On their website they have lots of opportunities for the traditional students. As an online student I am able to visit campus whenever I want to, use the available resources, and talk to any advisors I need either in person or on the phone. I have access to the school library, no study groups are in my area. |
| Social Life | This is not a pertinent question to my situation, as I am an online student. | |
| Placement Services | Associate of Science Transfer Degree does not have support for career placement. I will have assistance in transferring to a four year college or university. | |
| Alumni Network | I do not have the information regarding the alumni program at this time. I have met people who went to this school and were very pleased with their education. |
