Community: Beyond the University of Oregon

Blending equal parts urban and outdoors, Eugene is the classic college town, with a northwest twist. Eugene offers all the opportunities of a small city, including mass transit, museums, music, arts, and sports, all in a supremely bike-able location. Opportunities abound within the city limits for hiking, climbing, and boating in a picturesque setting, but Eugene is also a short distance from wilderness areas and National and State Parks. Engage the city’s vibrant arts community, discover Lane County’s numerous fairs and festivals, or get your groove on at a concert featuring national acts or local talent.
