Student Life

Home Turf

Living on campus is about connection: to friends, resources, and seriously good food.

Your residence hall is your home. It’s a place to make friends, explore your identity, and make memories. Our residence halls are designed to enhance your life on campus, with live‑in faculty members, study spaces, traveling tutors and advisors, music practice rooms, and maker-hacker spaces. You can even choose to select a community that’s linked to your area of study, personal and cultural identities, or interests.

An Epicurean Obsession

Sushi or an açaí bowl? A comforting bowl of soup and a grilled cheese? Looking for something gluten-free and vegan? Or maybe you just want some coffee and a place to study. No problem. Our fourteen dining locations offer you a place to kick back, meet up, hide out, and fuel up with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Or you can practice your own culinary skills in one of our community kitchens.

Equity and Inclusion

A Continuing Commitment

Diversity at the University of Oregon is more than numbers and percentages. It’s about communities and individuals: students, professors, and staff members, with unique identities, experiences, and perspectives.

We’re committed to continuously building an equitable and inclusive community. We know it takes intention, humility, and a willingness to listen to and learn from the people around us. It takes critical thinking and sometimes changes to our behaviors. It’s an evolving conversation with no endpoint—a continuous commitment to be and do better. Our community is at our best when we affirm, respect, support, and celebrate what makes us different along with the common threads that tie us together.

In Good Company

At first the UO may seem like a big pond, but the connections you'll form will make it feel much smaller.

We believe in the power of community and the importance of belonging. When you arrive on campus, you won't be alone. You'll be surrounded by others who—just like you—have a hunger to learn and succeed as students. But the college experience is more than earning a degree–it's defined by your encounters outside of the classroom. It's the people you'll meet, the opportunities and activities you'll share as Ducks, and the memories that you'll take with you as alumni.
