Oregon’s Polytechnic University

“My greatest learning experience has been in my PHY 221-3 classes. I felt like I was discovering physics like Newton for the first time, rather than being told how everything just “is”. ”

“I heard that comparison is the thief of joy, but I didn’t understand it until college. Among students, comparing grades and test scores is normal. While I recognize the reassurance it might bring, I’ve also realized it’s an incomplete picture of someone’s effort or potential. Everyone’s journey is shaped uniquely—some grades come from stable environments, others from sleepless nights. Regardless, we all aim for growth, and the journey and the mistakes we make along the way are the best experiences one can get in life.”

“I chose Oregon Tech because of its strong reputation for hands on learning, practical experience, and dedicated faculty. The program’s focus on preparing students for real world careers aligns with my goal of becoming a nurse.”
