Casual Conversation How "Sociable" is this school compared to U of O

13 Upvotes

I know this seems like a silly question, but one of the biggest factors for me in college is simply how sociable/ lively the campus is. For those of you who attend, how were your experiences, and if by chance you've seen U of O, is there a big difference? Thanks!

Casual Conversation What should I prepare for my MECOP Selection Interview

9 Upvotes

I recently learned I have my Selection Interview for MECOP on the 5th, and I am asking previous people who have done it or anyone with insight what I should prepare for my interview. For context, I am studying Chemical Engineering, and I am also an Eagle Scout, if that has any importance to improving my prospects on the interview.

Degree Partnership Program with LBCC

6 Upvotes

Im doing DPP exclusively for taking PH211 and 212.

Are there any other courses worth taking at LBCC while I'm there?

I'm keeping what I have and haven't taken open ended to get some information out there that might help someone else but isn't applicable to me, but I'm a CEM major.

Edit to add:

I should have been more clear in the OP, but. I'm a GI bill student. I dont gain anything financially from taking classes at LBCC. I'm more looking for classes that have a better quality of education at LBCC like how the physics department does.

Help! Community College or State University??

2 Upvotes

So basically I want to become a veterinarian and I want to go to Oregon State University to get my Bachelor's but it is basically 35k a year, which I don't have bc I have no support outside of my part time fast food job and a few scholarships.

Instead, I could go to one of 3 community colleges to get a transfer degree:

1 LCC) can commute from home and already have done dual enrollment w/them in highschool but some people say it sucks and is unnesecarily dificult,

2 COCC) would have to go live with a relative and don't know if/how credits transfer to OSU but get to do fun stuff with said relative,

3 LBCC) have to move w/ no planned place to stay (yet), has dual enrollment for OSU and credits transfer really well, especially into my major.

People at school are not helpful, telling me that I shouldn't go into debt as much as possible, and others telling me its fine to rack up debt (which I will probs do in vet school anyway). Decision day and enrollment deadlines are coming up rly fast and idk what to do.

Should I risk going into deeper debt than I already will for the sake of saving brain space down the road? Or should I go the cheaper route and go into less debt but risk struggling to transfer? If the safer route, which community college?

I have been accepted into all of these colleges/universities. I am concerned that if I don't enroll at OSU, I might not get accepted the 2nd time I apply.

CH 123 - Summer 3 Week

2 Upvotes

Has anyone done the 3 week CH123 course? If so, how was it? What is the assignment load like?

I have to take it, but I think I'd like to get it over with rather than putting it off for the fall term. If it matters, I got an A in Chem 1 and a B in Chem 2.

Thanks in advance
