Eugene is a completely different university setting than the other two. In the last two years more resources have been put into getting in-state top high school grads to enroll, not just recruited athletes. The Clark Honors College has a beautiful residence hall and offers some perks. It does not offer engineering- that is at Oregon State. Crunchy granola outdoorsy types make both the uni and town very progressive. My peeve with that is the very liberal marijuana use even before Oregon legalized it.
