From what I've read (and heard) PSU's tuition is going up nearly 5%, for Fall 2015. Not sure about UO.
I'm not sure what all you currently know, however, PSU is very much in the thick of the city, right downtown and has two cohorts totaling around 50. Over the last few years, it seems that PSU has been going through professor changes. Not sure why, just are continually having changes. Being the largest college in Oregon, the admissions and financial aid departments are difficult to get in contact with at times. UO, is a bit of a smaller town and has a smaller cohort of 25. Don't know much more about the program.
Really, it all depends on what you are looking for in a grad program.
