Eugene is widely recognized as one of the prime college towns of the Pacific Northwest, and living around the University of Oregon campus puts you right in the heart of that electric environment. On top of being with walking distance of the university’s classroom buildings, you’ll enjoy prime access to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, the Bijou Art Cinema, and countless other cultural institutions both on- and off-campus. Restaurants, coffee shops, and bars surround the university, with the most options found on the west side—classic hangouts like New Max’s Tavern and Pegasus Pizza are always lively with students and locals alike. Downtown is just a couple of blocks west of campus, putting you in a great position to reach the city’s best dining, entertainment, and nightlife along Willamette Street in your free time.
