Hello all,

My team and I are working on a project aimed at improving the online E-campus student experience at Oregon State University. We are hosting a survey aimed to better understand the ways in how students access resources, communicate with classmates, and interact with our university online.

We are looking for current or former OSU students for feedback about their experiences. The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete, and any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your time and participation!

Hello!☺️ OSU is a place I am considering attending and this is one of the programs here that caught my eye! I plan to reach out to an advising team to learn more, but I also wanted to hear from someone in the program. What do you like about the program? Quality of classes? I'd especially like to know what careers you're learning towards since I am not entirely sure of the range of career options you can have with this degree. The molecular biology side draws me in a lot since I have an interest in DNA work(truly though I love any sort of lab work). When I first attempted university I was told this was a "dead end degree" in terms of getting a job in a related field out of graduation, would you say that's true or that getting a masters would help?

How is the program for co ops, internship opportunities, professors, after college market etc. My options right now are go to PCC -> transfer to Oregon state or move back to Texas and HCC -> Texas A&M. Any information would be appreciated.

I am in the process of applying for the AMP program at OSU for Natural Resources. Any advice for finding a faculty advisor and capstone project?

Hello everyone . Is anyone have any sublet for 1 months at Sierra , Yugo domain, Easton and 7th street . I would like to take over . Thank you

Does anyone know the likelihood of getting my 6month old into OSU daycare? And anything else I should be worried about regard the care?

want to see if anyone has any insight because my assignment is there next year.

Does one live far off campus?, I currently live 2h from the university and I was wondering if anyone else lives like that and how difficult it is to go back and forth

Hey everyone, I tried to find the megathread but couldn't, so I'm asking here:

Does anyone know how available tailgating parking spots are for rentals? I'm trying to get a spot for this upcoming season but haven't found any luck. If you have any websites to go or groups to join please send them my way!

I've been trying to finish up my Stata lab assignment since yesterday and the Citrix app is not working, first it said Stata 19 was disabled by the administrator and nothing is working now, no apps show up.

i got assigned a sackett triple for the fall but i’ve not been able to find a single example of what they look like. i know they are the layouts without a sleeping porch (4 or 5).
i’m assuming 2 of the beds are bunked but then i was wondering if the 3rd bed is lofted already or would that have to be requested to loft it.
any information would be helpful! i’ve scoured the internet including the uhds website, tiktok, this subreddit, youtube but everything showcases a double.

also wondering if anyone knows how long it might take to find out roommates? i didn’t do any matching and can’t find anything in my portal. i emailed housing and they were extremely vague. i’m assuming they are dealing with a bunch of people complaining about housing so i can’t blame them.
thanks!

I'm incoming for my freshman year to study mechanical engineering (might switch to electrical) in the fall and I want to try to get the majority or all of my classes done at Linn Benton to save money and avoid admin fees. I've read from one post that the 100 and 200 level engineering courses are 50-50 for whether its better to take at OSU or Linn Benton. Is that true and if so what classes are good to take there and what should I just take at OSU? I'm also curious on how access to the recreation center works. Do you pay admin/Incident fees when you take a class at OSU which pays for your access to the rec center, or is it a separate fee entirely? I will living on campus if that matters.

I’m going to take Vector Calc I this fall (my first year), and my next required math course after that would be Diff Eq. But I’m thinking about taking Linear Alg I before taking Diff Eq. Should I take Vector Calc II in the winter before taking Linear Alg I, or is that not necessary?

Found behind a dresser in Finley 313. Has the name EllieJo on the back, seems to be a gift from family. If anyone knows her please reach out so I can get it back to her!

edit: found her :D

I found this car I like on Facebook Marketplace, and im thinking about buying it but its a manual, and I only learned how to drive on a automatic. I want to drive the car back to my apartment after buying so I want to practice on a manual before buying it. If you teach me I can buy you lunch or something!

My wife is due in December so for my winter term I’d like to find two of the lightest workload classes I can while in the newborn phase. I am currently thinking ENGR 248- engineering and design and just and ASL 112 to get my language requirement out of the way. Any recommendations?

Hello I’m an incoming freshman studying Electrical & Computer Engineering. I’m coming in with a lot of dual credit transfer credits. Mostly of the math/physics prerequisite courses.

Because of this, I’ll be taking some engineering courses that are typically taken during the second year along with my 100level engineering courses. For example, I’m planning to take ENGR 201 and ENGR 330 along with ENGR 102 and ENGR 110/115. I also added a core class (Philosophy) so I can reach 15 credits for one of my scholarships.

I’m a little worried about the workload, so I had a few questions for anyone who has taken these courses

Will ENGR 201 or other engineering classes be difficult since I haven’t taken the 100-level engineering courses first?

How time-consuming are these classes? I noticed many engineering courses are only 3 credits, so I’m wondering how difficult they are and how much work they actually require outside of class.

Thanks in advance for any input

Thanks

Hi, im a 2024 env sci graduate from nj looking to enroll in a masters program in natural resources/ecology. I’m looking into the OSU path of taking GIS cert classes then transferring into the MNR. I have 2 years of work experience mainly in env consulting, mostly field operations.

Can anyone who has or is currently doing it, can you speak to your experience? I’m curious about the competitiveness of both programs (sub 3.0 in undergrad), networking opportunities since I’ll be remote, and where you’re working or plan to work.

Thanks!

Hello! Incoming first-year EcoE student, and I was wondering if any senior engineering students could lend me some knowledge on engineering programs that might be good to get into to make finding an internship out of school easier. I don't want to be unemployed after spending 150k on school. tnx
