I lived in Eugene for four years while attending the University of Oregon. Situated in the Willamette Valley, Eugene is only an hour from the coast and an hour from the Cascade Mountains. It is home to the University of Oregon-Go Ducks! and famous for its Hippie and Anarchist communities.
My favorite things to do in Eugene (other than study of course) were going to football games, eating at all the fabulous restaurants, going to concerts, and enjoying the scenery. Eugene is very green-unfortunately to be so green it has to rain a lot, so that could be a bummer if you're a sun-worshipper like me.
- Pros:Conveniently located, very green and beautiful
- Cons:Rains A LOT, overzealous police force
- In a nutshell:Colorful, fun, and surprisingly culturally diverse

Nice page. We lived in Eugene for five years...LOVED it ! Still have good friends there. We do like Portland to. Have been here for eleven years..GO DUCKS !!!
Home of Prefontaine! He kicked my butt in 74 then invited me to Eugene. Good time was had by all! Birthday greetings from Alaska!
Yeah, U of O is the best! I went there as well! Miss Eugene a bit but P-town is nice as well.
My wife went to school here, and I used to visit her. its a great town, lots of fun to be had, and its mostly of a social nature. Nice page.
Hmm, I didn't find Autzen that loud;-\ Go Beavs!! Nice to see out-of-staters enjoying out schools though;-] How did you like those wooden benches at Strawberry Canyon at Cal?
Deine website gefallt mir! Makes me homesick for the Pacific Northwest... Did you ever make it to Strawberry mountian?
Great Eugene page...I feel the same way about the place -- definately a love/hate thing going on. I haven't been back in 10 years, but I'm guessing it's still Berkeley North, only with more mullets!
Go Ducks....Wonderful pages...Happy travels
