At the Mark O.Hatfield Library main desk, staff will issue to area residents a "community borrower's card" for a yearly fee of $50. To access the campus, I always park in the visitors' lot on the east side of Winter St., close to the intersection with Pringle Parkway. The signage is confusing: parking is free for casual drop-ins only on weekends. For those from away, walk NE from the visitors' parking until you see the fountain. There is found an excellent map and you can orient yourself. The Martha Springer Botanical Garden is a few minutes' walk from the library and worth a visit. It does not show on the online map. It is the green strip north of the Sparks Center, on the south bank of the Mill Race.

I attended UO for a couple years before transferring. The education was good, but it's a large university so there are going to be those courses where you're one of 100 other students in a huge lecture hall. I also took several Japanese and music courses that had 20-30 students, so it all depends upon what you're taking, of course. The university itself is nice, a lovely setting. It's an arboretum, with over 500 species of trees on campus, and there are several thousand trees on campus as well. Pioneer Cemetery cuts through campus--yes, I've used it as a shortcut. The Oregon Bach Festival is kind of headquartered here, with Festival events taking place at the Hult Center as well as other venues around town. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History sits on the east side of campus and shares history of the city and larger geographical area. I visited and saw a really interesting exhibit about Black history in Eugene and I really appreciated this perspective on my hometown that I didn't learn about in elementary, middle, or high school. There is the ugly, of course, which is Nike's relationship to the university. The company started in Eugene when the famous coach Bill Bowerman used a waffle iron to improve the shoes his runners wore, and student Phil Knight partnered with him and it took off. Federal and state disinvestment in higher education makes for partnerships that are vital to the university, which is happening here. Buildings, athletics facilities, etc. are heavily influenced by or downright decided by the man himself, I'm sure, which is uncomfortable. Hopefully it frees up money in other places to hep students attend. I can't say my review is totally unbiased because of the hometown connection--it has a special place in my heart for that reason. If UO had had the major I wanted, I would have stayed there to complete my education--but that's easy for me to say as an in-state student. But I know several folks from Eugene or beyond who went there and are also happy with the education they received and the setting in which they received it, so it's worth checking out.

I was changing professions to nursing and this was the closest school. OCCC is very small - smaller than the high school I attended. But I do not think that means the education is poor, but quite the opposite. Most of the instructors were knowledgeable and interested in student success, and teacher: student ratios are good. (I found one core instructor to be quite incompetent, as did the other students I was with. That happens everywhere, though.) Lab instructor Lynn is great. Our clinical instructors varied quite a bit and were mostly good. I obtained a BSN after and feel the program at OCCC was better (the BSN was from a reputable school). I think OCCC is especially good for students who prefer the smaller campus, such as home school and some high school students who appreciate a good education but don't want to be swallowed up in a huge university or others who just don't like massive waves of students to navigate. I give it 4.5 stars, but round up to 5.

It looked cheap and was super easy to get into but guess what... it's not cheap they hit you with so many hidden fees every year it literally evens out to be as expensive as bigger schools like Oregon State or UO but that's not it.... There is NOTHING TO DO in Monmouth or the Salem area in general. You're surrounded by farm land and literal fields of dirt. Not to mention the manure farm that you have to drive past to get into the town... a literal POOP FARM is what greets you to Western Oregon University, I'm not kidding the entire town smells like feces you kinda block it out eventually but if you think about it... it's there... always there. On top of the town being a boring rural, white trash, methane air filled hellscape. WOU has horrible academics and sports. Out of the many many classes I took there I genuinely learned nothing from 98% of them. The teachers are underpaid and the schools finances are so bad, programs get shut down and striped back every year. The sports teams are horrendous and many of the players think they're hot sh*t, they all have that D2 ego where they claim they're gonna transfer up but instead fail all their classes and spend 7-8 years going into debt to play for a mid ass sports team. Because of these horrible circumstances and WOU letting literally anyone into their school, the football team has literal criminals on it. I have wittinesses on 5 different occasions 15-25 football players mug someone. This always happened at party's where somebody would piss off one of the football players so 15+ of them would gang up on 1 single guy and beat the life out of him. Not all of the players are like this but I know many of them are. 0 stars, Save yourself, don't go here, it's such an awful school and in such an awful place. This review hardly scratches the surface of how God awful this place is. The people who like it are lying to themselves or don't know what a real college has to offer.
