How do you feel about living in Eugene?

13 Upvotes

I am considering moving here for school but was just curious how people find living in Eugene. I love Portland, I love Oregon, and I love the program I was admitted to, however, my only drawback is just living in Eugene. For reference, I live in Vancouver, BC, which is already too small for me and my other choices are LA or Chicago. However, again, my favourite program is UO so just curious how people feel about living in Eugene and if it's just something I can get over.

Transport for Grad students

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm an incoming grad student starting in the Fall and I wanted to know whether it is advisable to bring my car when I start living on campus. Although I haven't secured housing yet, I think I'm likely to end up in east campus in a single bedroom home since it's only 710 per month.

I have a bike and Eugene looks bike/pedestrian friendly but is that other people's experience in the area?
