Advice about Southern Oregon University
Feb 2012
Would appreciate anyone's experience with Southern Oregon University
in Ashland. Our daughter really wants a smaller school environment,
good access to teachers and some learning support if needed. She was
impressed with SOU and has been accepted. She also has several small
private school choices as well so we'd love to hear thoughts from
anyone who's attended or has students there. Thanks much.

No experience with the school as such (although my aunt went there in the late
30's/early 40's when it was Southern Oregon Teachers College and Taylor Hall
is named after another relative), but the Math Department has one of the best
teachers in the world: Irving Lubliner, formerly middle school math teacher
and ''Mr. Math'' for years at Bentley School. If your daughter has any
interest in math, SOU would be a good choice just to be taught by him.

My daughter is starting her third year at SOU. We all think it's fantastic! So
is the town. It's definitely not a research institution like UC Berkeley, but
for my daughter that's a good thing. She went there her first year not knowing
anybody but was able to find a great circle of friends. The only negative so
far has been a very bad professor in the Freshman seminar class.
I have to admit that driving up there is much more pleasant than a
drive to S. Cal.
Feel free to email me if you want more information.
