Campus is just four blocks from downtown La Grande and students ride public transit for free, making it easy to get to the farmer’s market, eateries, shops and theaters.
“I loved EOU because the class size was small and the interaction with the faculty was great. I felt like there was a lot of interaction with the professors and with the smaller class sizes they were always happy to work with students and their schedules. EOU was great for a student like me because it is a smaller campus in a rural part of Oregon where it doesn’t take long to know everybody. Even though it is a small school it definitely prepared me for a competitive program with a steep learning curve the first year and I was able to compete with students from other large universities with big names. I think students who want to enter a professional health field like veterinary medicine should load up on upper level science courses and maintain a high GPA. Also, it is very worthwhile to study and learn about all the different career paths in veterinary medicine. I am working on finishing my clinical rotations so I can graduate from OSU’s vet program in June 2018, and my future plans are to practice beef cattle production medicine potentially feedlot and cow/calf settings.”
