<br />To what degree do students at other universities live on campus and is the University of Oregon
<br />typical? What is the projected future enrollment at the U of O?
<br />
<br />Response: Mike Eyster of the University of Oregon’s housing office reports that the degree to which
<br />students live off-campus is very much related to the local real estate market, including cost, availability,
<br />and the profile of the student body. Toward one end of the spectrum Portland State University has
<br />26,608 students and only 1,863 (7%) live on campus. On the other end, 81% of Stanford University
<br />students live on-campus because the university has the supply and market-rate housing in Palo Alto is
<br />very expensive. Also, at Stanford there are only 6,600 undergraduate students out of 19,800 total
<br />enrollments. “The Association of College and University Housing Officers International” collects data.
<br />Mr. Eyster provided data for nine of the PAC 10 schools (accurate data from Arizona State University
<br />was not available):
<br />
<br />University Percent of Students Housed in University Housing
<br />Arizona 17%
<br />California (Berkeley) 20%
<br />UCLA 36%
<br />Southern California 21%
<br />Oregon State 18%
<br />Stanford 81%
<br />Oregon 22%
<br />Washington 23%
<br />Washington State 36%
<br />
<br />The University of Oregon Provost presented a strategic housing plan to the OUS Board in October
<br />2007. The Provost has made a commitment to provide on-campus housing for at least 25% of
<br />undergraduates (22% now), and at least 11% of graduates (8% now) in the future. Currently, 85% of
<br />freshmen live on campus. The U of O is planning to replace and expand much of its existing housing
<br />because it is old and obsolete for today’s needs.
