We love Bend
Bend is minutes from world-class skiing at Mt. Bachelor, and that’s just the beginning.
Set yourself up for success
Studying well, choosing a major, tutoring, class schedules, healthy relationships, finding an internship and more — our student success team has the tools to help you.
Explore with Cascades Adventures
You can explore all Bend has to offer with Cascades Adventures, our student-led outdoor trips program. Summit the South Sister, camp under the stars or float the Deschutes River with a new group of friends.
Dine at the Beaver Dam
OSU-Cascades Beaver Dam dining (inside Obsidian Hall) is a favorite gathering place for students and faculty. Our talented chefs and student staff create and serve daily soups, salads, and specials — from multiple stations — that are nutritious, delicious and largely scratch prepared. The Beaver Dam offers a wide variety of foods to satisfy dietary requirements and requests, and are always open to working one-on-one with students.
