Hey there! I'm considering applying to the University of Oregon and I wonder how big the student population is there. Are classes generally large? Any insights would be appreciated.
Hello! The University of Oregon (UO) has a total student population of around 23,000, with approximately 19,000 of those students being undergraduates. While these numbers may seem large it's important to note that the class sizes can vary greatly depending on the course and your year in college.
In general, introductory classes and popular courses may have larger class sizes, possibly with more than 100 students. As you progress in your major and start taking upper-level courses, you'll more likely experience smaller class sizes that encourage more in-depth discussions and closer relationships with professors.
It's also worth mentioning that UO has a student-faculty ratio of 17:1, which is indicative of the average amount of attention you can expect to receive from faculty members. So, don't look at total number of students alone - the University of Oregon offers a mix of class sizes, so students can choose courses that fit their preferences and desired learning environment.
Best of luck with your college search!
