I'm a student from Brazil who graduated from the UO in Eugene. The most Important learning experience for me was interacting with people from around the world and learning about internal issues. I was a member of the ICSP (international Cultural Service Program) and co-director of the intl. Students organization. In Brazil we don't have a similar diversity and we mostly learn about the world in books, but in here students have a chance to learn from interact from the world. PS: I love Oregon, this will be always my second hometown!
