Should I bother bringing sandals?

Hii this might be a silly question but it’ll be my first time living in a mainly rainy state. I’m going to be a freshman living in Kalapuya Ilihi. We have our own shower and all that. I’m kinda just wondering if it’ll even be worth bringing a flip flop or sandal. Usually if I wear a dress I wear sandals with it but I’m assuming I’ll probably be wearing more boots/casual shoes?

Not sure, just a funny thought I was having, any advice is appreciated!! 😛

Edit: Thanks for the replies!! Flip flops are getting packed 🤞🤞

Party Scene/Trip Advice

I (20M) am going to Eugene in the fall for a couple weeks to visit my friend (21M) who’s transferring there. I was wondering if there’s much of a bar scene around Eugene, and if so, how strict they are with fake ID’s. I unfortunately turn 21 in December, which is a few weeks after my trip, and it would be a bit lame if we weren’t able to do a good range of fun weekend festivities due to that. I’m open to other general house party/frat alternatives, I have no idea what to expect and neither does my friend.

On a more general note, does anyone have any good recommendations of activities to do around Eugene a first time visitor would enjoy? Obviously the party scene would be a slim minority of the time spent there, so I’m interested in hearing about other things people enjoy doing as well.

Full 2026 preseason preview for Missouri State, with returning production, the portal, a two-deep and the schedule.

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Missouri State one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-most

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Casey Woods takes over for his first year and Jacob Clark's 3,244 yards and 28 touchdowns are gone, replaced by Duke transfer Henry Belin IV, who has 22 career passing yards. That offense was 16th nationally in passing yards per game last season, and the line that has to protect the new guy gave up 52 sacks. Only 26% of production returns, 19 came in through the portal, and the model has the Bears 110th. Does Woods hold 7-6 together, or is this the year it resets?

I'll be in the comments.

Japanese student currently at UO — looking to make friends!

Hi! I’m a university student from Japan, and I’m currently staying at UO for two-week university program.

I’m still learning English, so I’m not very confident speaking it yet, but I’d really love to meet some local UO students and make friends while I’m here!

If you’re interested in Japan, Japanese culture, or learning Japanese, I’d love to meet you! Of course, you don’t have to be studying Japanese — I’m just looking for some friendly people to talk to and hang out with :)

I usually have some free time early in the morning, so I thought it could be fun to meet at a Starbucks near campus, grab a coffee, and just chat ☕️
If anyone is interested, feel free to comment or message me!

Looking for somewhere to stay in fall

Hi everyone! I'm a 23 year old Grad Student at UO starting this fall, and I'm looking for a furnished room to rent/sublease. I'm moving out in the second week of September and so I'm hoping for a place available around that time.

I'm very clean, chill, and my favorite activity is minding my own business, also super LGBTQ+ friendly. I have a habit of becoming friends with my roommates but also don't mind just being polite neighbors.

My budget is $700-800$, the only real requirement is it has to be walking or biking distance to campus. I have no pets, and I don't smoke.

If anyone has any leads or any places opening up please drop a comment or shoot me a message and I'll get back you.

Thanks!

Should we drop grades at UO

U Michigan is dropping them due to the "mental health crisis", also known as the college budget crisis.

Of course grades at UO are interesting reflection of what has happened across the country, with some grade inflation, but not as much as many other schools. Only business, econ, and math exist as majors without much grade inflation.

Should we drop grades? Would any of you still come to class if grades were dropped?

Jazz and Music scene

My son will be at UofO this fall and I'm wondering about any jazz jam sessions or other community opportunities for folks like him. He's a remarkably talented guitarist and singer. He's not a music major but it is his passion.

Also, are there any jazz venues we could drop in at? We'll be up for Inducktion for a couple days and I'd like to get him excited about college rather than looking at it as an obligation.
