THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

The first college that I will look at is the University of Oregon. I have a few questions to start with. Number one, who thought of the duck as a mascot? Last time I remember, ducks just swim in a pond. What is so fierce about that? 

My second question is why in the world are their colors green and yellow? My high school colors are the same and I can't stand it. These colors do NOT go together. In my opinion, the school has been trying to hide the yellow. On some of their football jerseys, there isn't even yellow on them. One thing is for sure, if I go to this school, I will never wear anything that is mostly yellow.

But, there are many pluses about Oregon. They are very unique; their basketball court is so creative (looks like forest), their football jerseys are very interesting, and the football gloves make the letter "O" when you put them together. Also, the university has great school spirit and the campus is gorgeous. 

When I visited the campus, I fell in love with it. From the start, you are surrounded with trees and there's not a dead one in sight. Something about being surrounded by trees makes you refreshed, or healthy. I don't really know, but it's a nice feeling. Even though you are surrounded by nature, you still feel like you are on a college campus. 

When you need to ask people for directions around the school, everyone is very friendly. I feel less judged when I'm there because not everyone there is dressing to impress. Also, if you are looking for a nice place to eat dinner,
there's a really yummy Italian restaurant with fantastic cheesecake. To add to all of this, there is a beautiful beach just twenty minutes away.
