Walkable Bicycle-Friendly Mountains River Historic Wooded Research Top-Ranking Sports

Sprawling across 295 acres along the Willamette River in the shadow of the Cascade Mountains, the University of Oregon Campus is beautiful -- this heavily-wooded campus contains nearly 3,000 trees, including an arboretum with more than 500 tree species. Historic architecture that includes the landmark Deady Hall only adds to the beauty. It's a terrific setting for one of the nation's top-ranking universities, considered one of the top research universities in the nation. The Oregon Ducks are legendary -- on and off the field. The Ducks are part of NCAA's Pac-12 Conference, and the football team started in 1894. Since two OU alumni founded Nike, the company is still the team's outfitter. The Ducks football team plays at Autzen Stadium and has won more than a dozen conference titles and has one Heisman Trophy winner, Marcus Mariota. Eugene is a fantastic college town, known for its focus on the arts. Eugene is bicycle-friendly, walkable, and a popular place for jogging, kayaking, rafting, camping, and hiking. If you love spending time outdoors, the city's slogan is "A Great City for the Arts and Outdoors." On game days, green and yellow is everywhere. Sports fans might prefer the Harlow neighborhood, where the football stadium is located. Neighborhoods closer to campus include Amazon, Fairmont, and Downtown Eugene.
