Please, get to know your student neighbors before bad things happen!
Engaging with your student neighbors in a constructive way, as soon as they move in, is the most successful way to encourage neighborly behavior. Many students are surprised when neighbors complain because they have never met the people living in the houses around them. The student may not realize that their neighbors hear or see them as they are beyond the students scope of focus. Introduce yourself. Exchange basic information (names and contact info). Welcome student neighbors. Acknowledge their rights and set expectations and encourage good communication and responsible behavior. Neighbors who do this before a problem arises report significant reductions in inappropriate behavior over the time of student tenure.
Unfortunately, there are occasions where neighbors should step back from personal involvement and call law enforcement.
If inappropriate behavior is in progress and you suspect that University of Oregon students are involved, call the Eugene Police Department ( 911 emergency, 682-5111 non-emergency).
If illegal activity is suspected (excessive noise, underage drinking, drug use, trespassing, illegal parking, etc.), call EPD, even if you think the issue isn’t large enough to get their immediate attention. A report gets the incident on the record and EPD can track patterns.
Again, please report incidents to the University of Oregon “good neighbor” hotline within 24 hours of the incident by emailing goodneighbor@uoregon.edu. Make a report even if you don’t know for sure that UO students are involved and even if you don’t know any names. Include:
• Short description of incident
• Time of incident
• Location/address(es) of incident
• Names of any students involved if you have them
• Any contact you had with students or landlords before, during or after incident
• Please include if EPD was called.
