Southern Oregon University

Some of the teachers are fantastic - but the the staff, the web services, and overall education is downright pathetic. Most of the classes seemed like they were geared toward babies - way too easy! Website consistently bugs out and bans me from my own account in which I have to call the IT desk and remain on hold for an hour just so they can fix the same freaking bug every single freakin' month. I learned so so so so much more about Math, Biology, History, Writing, ect., from doing my own research and studying outside the classroom because most of the teachers taught everything so poorly. On top of all that, random fees plague the school. You want your transcripts? The thing we just have to print out with a push of a button? 20$. You want to graduate after spending all this money on classes? That'll be 50$ Graduation fee (Yes I'm absolutely serious, that's a real fee). Plus we need to charge you 70$ for your graduation gown (Which I skipped out on because screw this school).

Outstanding school in 1976 - 1980 when I graduated. SInce then, unfortunately, way too much shift to the left. Exposure... Fine Shaping/Recruiting.... No I sent my daughter to the University of Nevada, Reno for a balanced Faculty, not penalized for independent thinking.

This university is DEPLORABLE!!!!! Tons of fees, self centered staff and faculty, corrupt administration, They have a 60% retention rate and a 40% drop out rate. this is due to the fact that many students do not feel that they are getting the education they want and deserve. Also, they do not offer what they promise. There is a lot of outsourcing of academic services which should come directly from the university itself. IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND A FOUR YEAR COLLEGE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!!!
