I just got accepted to the University of Oregon and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the program, maybe a current student, or the Eugene area. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering if anyone could provide some information about the University of Oregon's SLP program, which is quarter based, rather than semester based. I'm not sure if quarters are more intense due to the reduced time frame. I've only experienced semesters, so if anyone has ANY info about Oregon, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I have also been accepted to the University of Utah and have the exact concerns you do. I loved the program and all the students I met on a recent visit. I had several concerns about not fitting in with the Utah population in general (not Mormon), and the school suggested finding housing in areas that were about 20 to 25 minutes from campus (without snow). It seems as though there will be a lot of commute time. The curriculum also seemed much more geared towards pediatrics, and I am hoping to work with adults/geriatrics. These concerns are making me question if it is a good fit for me. I was also accepted to Northern Arizona which is a great location and fits me very well . The negative I see there is that students don't begin their practicums until the end of their first year, pus I am concerned about getting medical externships in such a small city. Plus, they only require 1 externship (don't know if this is okay in the eyes of employers). I feel like I'm so stressed out about making the wrong decision. If anyone can give me additional input, it would be greatly appreciated.
