    Eugene, OR

    To the two previous posters. Hi! I just finished my undergraduate degree at UO and will be continuing on for my PhD starting next fall here as well. The Ister: To be honest; I am not too familiar with the LGBT community in Eugene, however I do know that there are a few LGBT bars downtown, frequent events on campus, and many many resources provided by the University for that group. The general culture in Eugene is extremely accepting and welcoming of all types of people. The coast is about a 1 hour drive, maybe 1 hr 15 mins from Eugene. I would recommend looking for housing around Amazon Park. The Whittaker is also a popular district in town but I have heard it is a bit louder and there is more petty theft around there. Campus is roughly 10-12 blocks from the center of downtown, so it is walkable. Eugene is very bike friendly, so commuting by bike is a very popular option. If you have a bike, make sure to equip it with fenders to prepare for the endless rain during the winter. Let me know if you have any other questions.
