Admissions Videos

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, how about a video? One of the best ways to decide if the University of Oregon and the city of Eugene are right for you is by getting a taste for what life is like here on campus. Check back frequently for additional short films, and be sure to contact our website administrator if you have suggestions for the sort of videos you would like to see. You can also watch more videos on the UO's YouTube channel.

Shaking the Rafters

Since 1927, the Ducks have been shaking the rafters at "The Pit," the UO's Mac Court. Since 1997, the team has been led by Head Coach Ernie Kent, a former Ducks player. With the Matthew Knight Arena set to open in 2010, we're ready to shake the rafters of The Pit one last time.

 

Game Day Walk to Autzen Stadium

A Duck tradition! On home game days, football fans decked out in green and yellow leave campus and stream across the beautiful Willamette River to make the trek to Autzen Stadium. Follow along with a group of students as they make the pilgrimage.

 

Fall at the University of Oregon: Freshman Interest Groups

In a Freshman Interest Group, an initiative of the UO's Office of First-Year Programs, 25 first-year students take three related classes together. FIGs give new students an entry point for college-level academics. They're also an easy way to make friends in the first months on campus. FIG curriculum is based on experiences as much as it is on books.

 

Fall at the University of Oregon: Corn Maze

Lone Pine Farms is a working farm, complete with a fresh produce market and livestock. The rural setting provides a break from the UO's urban bustle. The farm is a beautiful 20-minute drive from campus. Each fall, Lone Pine Farms designs an intricate corn maze.

 

Fall at the University of Oregon: Ghost Hunting

Eugene's historic Pioneer Cemetery is surrounded on three sides by the University of Oregon campus. Students frequently pass through the cemetery on their way to class. Some say the cemetery is haunted. Each fall, University Housing sponsors a Ghost Hunting 101 workshop in the cemetery.
