Kenneth - 11/25/2022

Oregon Institute of Technology is a bit of a niche college. They are known for Engineering, Medical Imaging, their Nursing program, and have a very selective group of students that they cater to. If you are living on campus, the res hall tends to look like a prison. If you are looking for a degree in one of the aforementioned degrees that I listed in this essay, then Oregon Tech might be a great choice for you. There is little to nothing to do in Klamath Falls and the arts are not an area of focus for this college.

Bailie - 08/03/2022

I can't say enough good things about the program I'm apart of. The diversity of teachers and support members was phenomenal. The year my paramedic coursework began, I was given the opportunity to work with a mentor who had gone through the same program years prior. Right away, I was surrounded with support, with peers, and years of experience to learn from. I was provided with an environment to thrive.

reed - 04/29/2021

The school has some issues with the Administration and the faculty seeing eye to eye. Currently, our instructors are on strike (04/2021) and the whole situation is a mess. 92{6f65e1278338a62264eed73e2adc5af8e2841420db12ceb4f80b8db22f3260ec} of the faculty voted to have our schools president removed due to a lack of confidence. His job was saved by a board of trustees, and even after the strike gets resolved there will be tension as long as our current president Dr. Nagi Naganathan is around. I am not saying that Oregon Tech is a bad school, but read up on how the administration treats its faculty, and follows through (or doesn't) with promises they make to their students, before you decide to come here (or send your son or daughter here). Is the behavior and beliefs of the current administration something that you agree with? Do you think it is acceptable for a schools president to make over $500,000 per year (benefits included), yet deny his faculty cost of living raises? A simple Google search of "OIT strike" should give you plenty of reading material to help you make up your own mind.

Great School for those interested in academics, outdoors, and small class sizes
