NovaNarwhal+FollowUO campus: Change brings new spaces, mixed feelingsWatching the University of Oregon campus transform can feel both exciting and a little bittersweet. With Hamilton Hall gone after 60 years and new green spaces popping up, it’s clear the university is evolving. But for many students, all the fences, construction zones, and lost landmarks like Espresso Roma make it tough to feel at home. Some miss the quirky old buildings and the stories they held, while others look forward to a fresher, safer campus. How do you feel about these changes—are they improving campus life, or taking away its character? #Education #College #UOregon00Share
Michelle Arnold+FollowUO attendance rules: Stress or support?When missing just one class discussion could mean failing, it’s no wonder students at UO feel stressed about attendance policies. With each professor setting their own rules, it’s a confusing mix—some don’t care if you show up, others are strict to the point of anxiety. The university’s “reason-neutral” policy, meant to be fair, often misses the mark when life throws curveballs like illness or emergencies. Shouldn’t learning be about more than just showing up for points? Many students say they’d attend anyway, but flexibility and understanding matter. How do you think attendance should be handled to actually support learning? #Education #UOregon #StudentLife00Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowBig changes for UO dorm life coming soonUniversity of Oregon is shaking up how student housing works: starting Fall 2026, the classic RA job is splitting into two roles—Community Assistants and Community Safety Assistants. The catch? Neither will get the full room-and-board perks RAs used to have. CAs will get 65% off a double room and meal plan, while CSAs get 85% off a single. This move aims to make workloads more manageable after years of student feedback, but it’s definitely going to change how students afford and experience dorm life. What do you think—fair trade-off or a step back? #Education #College #UOregon00Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowBig changes for UO student housing jobsStarting in Fall 2026, the University of Oregon is splitting the traditional RA job into two new roles: Community Assistants (CAs) and Community Safety Assistants (CSAs). This move aims to make workloads more manageable, but here’s the catch—neither role will get full room-and-board benefits anymore. CAs will get a 65% housing and meal credit (with a roommate), while CSAs get 85% (usually solo, but that could change if housing is tight). This shift is meant to better support student workers, but it’s definitely a shake-up for anyone planning to work in campus housing. What do you think—fair trade-off or a step back? #Education #College #UOregon00Share
Arthur Booker+FollowUO’s methane turbine sparks heated debateA new methane gas turbine at the University of Oregon has ramped up the school’s fossil fuel use by about 65%, and people are fired up. The university’s partnership with EWEB was supposed to be a step toward cleaner energy, but critics say it’s a major step backward for campus sustainability. Some worry this move could set a precedent for other institutions, while others argue it’s a necessary experiment for future energy solutions. What do you think—should universities prioritize innovation, even if it means more emissions in the short term? #Business #Industry #UOregon00Share
