I am a first year student studying Psychology set to graduate in 2026 from Nevada currently going to UO on a grant. My grant runs out after the first quarter of next year, but I’ll still get in state tuition afterwards. Additionally, I am awarded $5k each year for academics. I am enrolled to transfer to PSU next year and will receive the WUE tuition rate, but I am still feeling lots of anxiety regarding transferring. I like the school of UO but I don’t care for the sports and partying, and the isolated nature of Eugene makes me depressed. I feel I will be happier at PSU because I will have Portland to hangout in. But, I want to be sure that I am not jeopardizing the quality of my education. My family is disappointed that I am transferring because they think UO is a better school but I think it’s just comparing the reputations of both schools, which is really related to sports from what I understand. I am just seeking some advice from other transfer students or those that have attended UO or PSU.
