Engulfed by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, it makes sense that OSU has strong programs in forestry and environmental studies. Though they completely lack any urban excitement here, the Greek life and Nature herself keeps students busy. Some of countries best skiing, hiking, biking, and camping are short drives away from campus. Thankfully there's no reason to stress here because everything moves at a slower pace and students, though not super diverse, are extremely relaxed and warmly embrace anyone who calls themselves a beaver.
