Cheer on a Civil War Game at University of Oregon

Attending a sports game is a common tradition across most campuses, but this one comes with a Platypus Trophy

Between the Ducks and Beavers, this trophy has been passed down since 1959. We should probably mention it went missing for 40 years, but now it’s back in safe hands. 

From football to volleyball, you can attend Civil War games across every sport and season. Make sure to throw your “O” in the stands too. Fun fact: The popular college movie, Animal House was filmed on campus.

Back to School Style Tip: To cheer in comfort, try our sleek and sustainable polos below.

Wander through the Cherry Blossoms at University of Washington

 

Captivating views are available year-round across the University of Washington campus, but the star of the show are the cherry blossoms in springtime, which are replanted from the Washington Park Arboretum. 

Our second pick for stunning views? The Drumheller Fountain in the center of campus, which comes with a jaw-dropping backdrop of Rainier Vista.
