SMDance131 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 There is a posting out for UO already but it doesn't seem like anyone has really been active on it during this application season so I figured I would start a brand new thread for 2014... Is there anybody out there planning on attending UO in the fall? It is my top choice so far and I have heard a lot of really great things about Eugene and the university in general, but I will be moving from the east coast so I am eager to connect with peers before I get out there! If I accept the offer made to me I will be enrolling in a PhD program in the English department this fall.
KillBosby Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I will also be attending in the fall! Master of Public Administration. I have previously lived in Corvallis & Silver Falls State Park (in a tent) but I am migrating from Wisconsin. Yahoo! Surprised more people aren't active on here yet... Any plans for housing thus far?
SMDance131 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Hi there! I am actually really surprised by how quiet the threads have seemed lately too... Congrats on your admittance! I read that it was your dream program too - that's awesome! I am a New England girl born and bred so this is quite the move for me, but I have heard great things about Eugene and have a few friends who live/have lived on the West Coast. Whereabouts in Wisconsin are you from? I have always wanted to visit Madison and Milwaukee. No set plans on housing yet, I expect that I will want to pick up a studio apartment for my first year to get acclimated. I tend to be really picky about how I live and who I live with. The DGS has been really helpful connecting me with community resources and students in the program so hopefully that helps. How about yourself?
Kelly Anna Yllek Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Hello! I was accepted into Folklore for the fall. I will be doing the big move across the country closer to the starting date. So scared of how far away it is but exciting too.
SMDance131 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 That is great - although I am a little jealous that you are coming from New York (I love Manhattan + Brooklyn)! I would say that petrified is a pretty accurate description of how I felt when I first received my offer, but I am feeling a lot more excited and confident about the decision now. Are you coming from one of the urban areas of New York or more upstate? It'll be great to (sort of) know somebody from the east coast once I get over there.
SMDance131 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 I have to admit for what its worth that I have followed this site for some time but have done very little in terms of posting. I'm not entirely sure what voting up or down is or how to reply directly to a person's post so bear with me while I try to work it out! haha
Quivering Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Very happy that I can now say I will be moving out there from Minnesota!
Kelly Anna Yllek Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Upstate-ish. I see some other folklore acceptances on the results page. Come talk to me, soon-to-be-classmates! Let's discuss our weird focuses! I don't want to wait until September to know who I am going to be hanging out with for a couple years!
obviousbicycle Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Hello! I'm an international student and I'll be attending UO this fall for a MS program in geography. I have previously lived in Corvallis & Silver Falls State Park (in a tent) but I am migrating from Wisconsin. I received my bachelor's degree from UW-Madison! Madison is beautiful and a great town; I love it. Edited April 15, 2014 by obviousbicycle
