CAS - Life on Campus

"What makes the UO special? It can be the game-winning jumper that sends Mac Court rocking. It can be a tranquil run along the paths of the Willamette River. It can be sitting on a bench in the middle of campus, watching all the friendly faces stream by. It can be a glorious rainbow framing Spencer's Butte after a hard rain, or the sun beating down on your face while studying. It can be a bike ride in any direction, getting lost in a wonderful new world, only to end up - somehow - back home. It's the people, the supporters of the community. Oregon, and especially the University of Oregon, gives you a road wide open to many different facets of life. No matter where you come from, no matter who you are, Oregon can offer you a home."

Mona Birnbaum, senior, sociology
