<p>WUE is idiosyncratic. I’m not sure what the reasons are that some schools are participants and others not. I have heard a lot of CA kids feeling a little peeved that UO isn’t WUE for for them but is in some cases for other OOS kids, but there isn’t a single UC that is WUE for OR kids. Is it some kind of reciprocation formula? I know a couple (at least) northern CA CSUs are WUE, and Southern Oregon U is WUE (lots of CA students there now) – but I’m curious how those determinations are made as to which are WUE, which are not, why for some states and not others, etc.</p>
<p>BTW, nansaidh, my D graduated from UO last June. It was a great experience all around for her. (We’re in-state, though, so not so much a financial challenge, of course.)</p>
