<p>Can someone in-state break down for me which Oregon public universities are commuter campuses, and which are more traditional dorm/college-life campuses?</p>

<p>In particular:
UO
OSU
Eastern/Western/Southern OU
OHSU - Portland</p>

<p>Plus others I’ve not listed if you know.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>UO and OSU are not commuter schools. Portland State is. I’m not sure about the smaller campuses, but since they are in more remote locations I doubt if a majority of students are true commuters.</p>

<p>Does OHSU have undergraduate programs?</p>

<p>Thanks for the information. OHSU has the upper-division half of undergrad programs. For example, you would take your first 2 years at Eastern Oregon State, then apply for the nursing program at OHSU but continue studying at the same campus. Your BSN would be granted by OHSU even though your entire time was spent at EOU. OHSU has 5 campuses, most of which are as guests of other universities.</p>

<p>Also, what about OIT at Klamath Falls?</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t know anyone who went to OIT. What’s your major?</p>

<p>The following might help some. A school can have a lot of people living off campus and not be a commuter school. </p>
