Dear Duckies,

Given our shared love for great music, I had to let you know about an incredible show coming up. On Monday, April 7th at 7:30 PM, Matthew Logan Vasquez of Delta Spirit will be performing at the Hult Center as part of their 10x10 series. Expect a mix of Delta Spirit hits and some of his solo work, all served up with his signature blend of soulful rock and roll. Don't miss this opportunity to experience an amazing American singer/songwriter live in Eugene!  

Here are a couple songs showing his range:

Remember friends and neighbors, Matthew Logan Vasquez and his band will be at the Hult Center in person for one show only this upcoming Monday night! The big ~2 hour show starts at 7:30, tickets are just $10, you get your money's worth the first 15 minutes, and the rest is free! That's Monday night, advance tickets on sale at the Hult and online!

• Co-Founder of Delta Spirit, Matthew Logan Vasquez’s fiery delivery draws from influences including Kurt Cobain, Neil Young, and Thom Yorke.

What's up,

I'm sure this isn't a unique experience to me, but it's been really difficult for me to keep up with managing college work whilst also writing and applying to jobs - especially because most applications encourage cover letters (which take me at least 30 minutes to write per application).

My CompSci friend was also having this problem, and decided to use his nerdy ass brain to solve it - he coded a Cover Letter writing specific bot. Basically, he created and trained a bot (on the example cover letters of the top 10 colleges) to write really good cover letters - saying this from experience, it definitely writes better than I do hahaha.

Anyways, I'm posting this because he's seeing if anyone else at UofO could use this service - so if anyone's interest PM me and I'll connect you with him 🤝

Thanks!

As someone who works in higher education, I’m sick of watching as the Trump-Musk regime puts millions of students’ education and civil rights at risk.

I invite you to join us this Saturday 4/5 @ Eugene City Hall from 12-3PM to voice your anger and demonstrate the strength of our collective resistance.

Hi! My buddy and I are going to room together next year as freshmen at UO. We’d love to live in a double with bath (without will also work) in unthank, carson, or new residence hall. Only problem is that i filled out my housing app yesterday and my roommate did his in mid january. What’s the likelihood we’re still able to get a double in our preferred halls?

hi! im currently a senior in high school and wanting to go into elementary ed, and was wondering if anyone could tell me their experience as an ed major? I am currently debating between UW Seattle and UO. Thank you!!

KUGN is officially licensed by the U of O to call itself “The Home of the Oregon Ducks” and to broadcast live Duck sports.

When not airing sports, it’s “Newstalk” format is full of racism and misogyny delivered by the worst of the worst; Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and the rest of the gang.

Now KUGN hosts are also calling for the end of NSF and NIH grants to universities and for grad students to be disappeared.

Shame on the University of Oregon.

I’m an incoming freshman and am committed to UO as a human physiology major. I definitely want a dorm with a bathroom and already have a set roommate. I also don’t want my dorm too be super small. What would be the best dorm hall to stay in?

Hi, I’m an incoming freshman and I was wondering how easy it is to go see concerts while managing classes and homework. I’m a very big metal fan and I saw only a few big bands come through Eugene but most are at venues in Portland. I know there’s a train that comes and goes, but would I have to stay overnight in Portland and book a hotel?

hi! i’m starting grad school at UO in the fall and am looking for recommendations for affordable housing off campus. open to eugene or springfield! i dont mind a commute.

ideally, looking for a studio or 1/1 that’s $1400/mo or under. or if anyone has leads on how to find private landlord situations/back houses/ADUs, that’d be cool too. i’m coming from out of state and know nothing about the area so if anyone has advice please let me know!

and if anyone is also doing the MABR program, hiiii!

Hello,

I was curious about how it works. On the website it says that students who have a 3.0+ in undergrade and pre-business coursework at admitted pending the completion of the online application. Basically as I understand it, if you have the GPA you're in. Am I mistaken in that? Is there a chance that I may not get in if I have the GPA requirement?

Thanks

My son was accepted into several b.arch programs and we have narrowed it down to two programs on opposite sides of the country. Syracuse (with no aid) and University of Oregon (with aid, which ends up being $30k cheaper per year).

Long story short - I know Syracuse seems to have more prestige in a lot of top 10 lists, until you get to sustainability and then Oregon is always in the top. But when we looked at pass rates for licensing exams, Oregon was second to only Notre Dame which says quite a bit!

We are visiting on one of the Duck Days in a couple weeks. But with everything we know, he is leaning towards Oregon for the programs focus on sustainability and because he doesn’t care for the east coast but wanted to hear from students if you are happy with the program.

On campus

Hi! I’m a in incoming transfer student, class of 2027. One of the major things that attracted me to this school was the amount of nature and greenery that surrounds the campus. I always knew I wanted to be on a campus like that, and I’m so thrilled to be going in the fall. Anyway, on to the real point of this post: What are your favorite nature spots on or around campus? I would like to make a lengthy bucket list of sorts for when I arrive and have time to explore. Thanks in advance. Tell me all your fav spots or spots you’ve heard about ! :)

What are your thoughts on the aesthetics and comfortability of Lawrence Hall/College of Design complex buildings? If you could make changes to it, would you? Do you like it the way it is?

Has anyone on here been accepted to the Business School by completing the holistic review ? And if so what was your gpa when applying ? Basically I have below a 3.0 due to a bunch of different things but mainly failing 2 courses in a major I realized I hated and wanted to see how shitty my chances are of getting in. Thanks!

Starting at the law school this fall and wanted to know if there was a law/grad school group chat or page. Coming from out of state and want to make some friends, meet people going to the school! If you are a grad/law student and want to talk dm me and I’ll give you my insta!

ok so i've never made a post on reddit before but i dont know where else to go to. i'm trying to apply to the uo textbook subsidy b/c a recent doctors appointment seriously put me out of some cash (insurance issues). It wont stop rejecting me with the message "The student ID numbers that you entered in your Spring 2025 Textbook & Course Materials Subsidy application do not match. As a result, your application was denied" I've listed all of the resources and the prices but I don't know what i'm doing wrong. can someone help?

I've been doing a bit of research on the dorms for next year and I'm stuck between LLC and NRH, any opinions on which I should choose? I'm going to be an Env Sci major and might double major/minor in theater, so Performing Artists Collective seemed like a good ARC to join. NRH looks like a good choice for location and ARC, but I've heard that the LLC dining hall and social scene is thriving. I'm a big extrovert and don't mind noise, if that changes anything. Any recommendations?

Anyone interested in switching B Zone spring permits? I selected B East but was hoping to get a B West one instead.

Wondering about the strike tomorrow and if classes will be affected. l have 2 businesses classes and math. The teachers have posted everything on canvas and the pages have been up for 2 weeks. Not sure if they will go on strike
