UO vs SU

I narrowed down my choices into two- uo vs su. In my case $ is not a factor, prestige is. Both are T2 and regional, but which one is better if I decided to leave the northwest? How about faculty? Student life etc. I have been to Seattle before, but I don't know about Eugene. Any input is appreciated, thank you.

visit both of them. Go to the one that you like best- that best fits your budget and gives you the best job prospects where you want to work. If you hate one and like the other- go to the one you like. if you hate them both- then re try. Also check out living costs and such. You need to take as much info in as possible. This includes the school, its facilities, the area- the city itself, and the job prosepcts at least( if you have more criteria then compare them as well).

good luck

There's no difference in prestige between either of these schools...

true but the placement differs -- one places in WA and the other in OR. I'd choose Oregon based on personal preference. I like Portland better than Seattle.
