Eugene has some of the best medical care facilites in the western US (and they are hiring too as they just build a huge new hospital )

Eugene is also very culturally diverse, with a lot of shows and shopping. And if Eugene isn't offering much in the way of shows at any given moment, Corvalis or Portland usually is. Having two huge colleges so close together is sometimes a good thing! The weather is great for the most part. It isn't quite as rainy as people make it out to be although this year Im told its been a bit hotter than usual.

I'm happy to tell people how nice this area is. I took a leap of faith uprooting and I'm very glad I did!
