So I've actually never been to Corvallis. Can someone honestly describe the town to me? Everyone at UO said it sucked but they were obviously pretty biased. Is Corvallis really much different than Eugene? Both are considered to be college towns.

It's actually pretty nice... minus the orange and black.

They have a thriving downtown/river front area that's filled with local small business(almost no vacancies). They also lack the dirty panhandler crowd, I think it's actually illegal there.

They have nice bars, good food, and a great local beer pub(Block 15).

Corvallis gets a bad rap as a hick town, but they have the typical liberal northwest culture that we have in Eugene.

Kinda what I figured. I actually know a girl who commuted from Corvallis to Eugene because OSU's business program sucks. She absolutely hated Eugene.

That's funny, I think the only real difference is that UO has the nicer building(Lillis business complex). The curriculum is basically the same.

That's probably true, but OSU has inferior faculty and a much worse reputation. OSU also has lower entrance requirements for its business program.

Ya, I don't know... I attended both schools and thought they were pretty much the same... I studied accounting though. Not sure about the entrance requirements... I thought you just needed a 3.00 for both programs.

I just got accepted into Oregon's business program and the required GPA was like 2.9..

[soduck]

U of O has a much higher minimal required to be excepted and average GPA. The same for PSAs though. Also U of O not an Ag school. Oregon is in the prestigious AAU, huge difference. Eugene has the airport. The football Center will be huge as is the Academic Center already. Parties are all mostly at frats/ sororities, mostly pretty dead otherwise as far as party scene there. 6 high schools, 8 with Springfield, compared to 2 for Corvallis. But as they say nice college town in Corvallis if you like fxxxing sheep and don't mind stepping in cow s***

You like making things up?

Both programs have the same accreditation through the AACSB

And you have to have a 3.0 or above to be assured admission at OSU

So like I said... they're basically the same.

AAU, is not about accreditation. The Association of American Universities is a nonprofit association of 59 U.S. and two Canadian preeminent public and private research universities. Stanford, U of W, U of O, Cal, U of O, UCLA, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Brown, etc. No OSU. At U of O 3.4, or above to be assured admission at Oregon. At OSU, 3.0. PSA and transfer students less. Princeton Review ranks admission to Oregon 84, OSU 78. Businessweek top 115 business colleges, Oregon, 85, no OSU. More than 22,000 high school students submitted applications to the UO this spring, a record number and a 22 percent increase over last year. Since 2000, the number of students applying to the university has skyrocketed by 273 percent. OSU, Total undergrad applicants:11,428. Princeton Review U of Oregon Academic Rating: 69, Student Faculty Ratio: 20:1, OSU Academic Rating : 64, Student Faculty Ratio 25:1,

You only need a 2.5 GPA to get into OSU's business program. 2.75 if you're an accounting major.

Thankfully Oregon eliminated its automatic admission policy.

Someone mentioned that OSU was a bigger party school. I have no idea if that is the case but when I went to UO (94-7,) OSU was a bad party school. Many of the students that went there drove down on weekends to party in Eugene. But again, it has been over ten years now, so things could have changed there.

A lot of the Oregon frats are "dry," so they have to be more careful not to get caught. OSU's frats allowing drinking, so there's the reasoning.

Not entirely true... You can apply, but you have to have a 3.0 to be guaranteed admittance.

Gotchya... Well OSU has their affiliations.. kinda seems like apples and oranges to me... and going back to my original statement... those rankings show that there's not a lot of separation there... The accreditation and for the most part the curriculum are the same. Pretty sure the only real reason that UO get's into the top 115 for newsweek is because of the sports marketing program.

Boom I have appreciated your previous post and info, but U of O is more prestigious in many ways than OSU academically. Regarding accounting of course they have the same curriculum. My cousin went to Portland State many years ago in accounting, which was worse academically than it is now. He passed his CPA first time right out of school. Went right to Price Waterhouse and then onto become an eventual COO at Nike. It is not that OSU is bad, it is just in many departments U of O is way better. Engineering of course not. Architecture, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, ED as you said Marketing are all top notch programs. Of course besides Oregon's obviously a better football team lately. Track which is very important to Tyner is amazing at Oregon and nonexistent at OSU. Being a two sport athlete will give Tyner no time to party so that certainly does not matter. U of O has a lot more to offer many students in many more areas than OSU, unless you want Engineering, Forestry, AG, etc. And Oregon has more selective admissions with a better student faculty ratio. And the AAU is a huge affiliation, not some accrediting body. OSU is not bad academically, just not as good as U of O in many departments, accounting may be fairly close. Sorry for the diatribe.
