<p>I live in Oregon and I’ve toured both U of O and OSU and didn’t like either too much. Besides that my instate schools aren’t very good ones. I have toured Southern Oregon as well. Basically the only OOS publics I am considering at this point are Evergreen (not sure about their financial aid) and Western Washington as my sister got a WUE scholarship there. It is sort of hard to pick a few safety schools if you don’t like any of your in state options.</p>
<p>Getting dinged for not visiting is definitely a concern. However, I kind of want to apply somewhere ED to get the stress off as well as pin down a team I can play for. I would never do that unless I spent a substantial amount of time on campus and was sure of it.</p>
