Campus Life at EOU

Live on Campus

Have the best college experience possible living in our top-notch, suite-style residence halls with dining options that are delish.

Arts & Culture

We showcase the work of artists, authors and filmmakers with events all year, so there’s always something to do – and create!

The Outdoors

Step outside our back door and you’re snowboarding nearby at Oregon’s highest base elevation ski resort, kayaking Class III rapids, rock climbing or hitting the trails.

Athletics

The Mountaineers are NAIA affiliated and teams make regular post-season games and national playoff appearances, competing in the Frontier and Cascade conferences.

Clubs and Involvement

Meet friends and make a difference by getting involved with activities sponsored by our more than 50 clubs and organizations created by students, for students.

The Community

Campus is just four blocks from downtown La Grande and students ride public transit for free, making it easy to get to the farmer’s market, eateries, shops and theaters.

“I began studying for my bachelor’s degree at 28. As a non-traditional student I had years of life experience in both career and international travel. When Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) was recommended to me by a professor, I was intrigued. It helped me to analyze my prior career and travels from an academic perspective and realize what I had learned in my years outside of the classroom.”
