So does anyone here, attending or not, have any thoughts on Oregon State? I would love opinions on the curriculum, culture, surroundings, etc. I'm trying to consider where to move for my 3rd year undergrad, and would like to move somewhere that I know I would want to go to vet school at, to make my chances easier.
My bf and I visited Portland a couple of years ago, as well as Newberg, where he would be attending flight school if we were to move. The scenery is beautiful, but I'm concerned about the climate (I've heard varying stories on the amount of time it rains there, and what the rain is like). Is the climate in Corvallis different than in Portland? I don't mind rain, but I don't want to feel like I'm living in Ireland for half the year. We will probably visit again this winter - last time we visited during the summer, so I think we need a taste of the not-so-great weather.
We would probably live somewhere between Corvallis and Newberg. I'm used to driving 45min to an hour each way to/from work and school, so a similar drive would be fine. As for getting out, although I love someplace like Portland I don't mind living somewhere smaller than that, because I seriously doubt I'm going to have much time to experience that anyway. I live in Austin, TX right now and if I can go on hikes with my dogs and find a good coffee shop, I'm a happy girl (and living someplace that isn't hot all the time would be nice).
Also, I have tried to find some sort of admissions statistics for OSU, but can't seem to find any. If anyone has any input on any of this I would greatly appreciate it.
