  1. UO is definitely still easy. Acceptance rates are really high right now.  Flooded with as many undergraduates as possible during the last couple cycles.

     

    They definitely take their sports serious around here. Autzen is a pretty fun stadium and Reser (Oregon State) is only 45 min away or so.  Both are fun places to catch a game.

    My daughter's lived in Austin her whole life.  She's been to Seattle twice, and both times it was clear skies most of the time we were there (mid-March and early August).  She's been to Oregon once, last June, including a stop in Eugene, and it was mostly dreary the entire time.  I keep telling her that she's going to have months of sustained cloudy skies and rain.  She says she knows, yet UDub and Oregon are her top choices right now.  

    And June is one of the least dreary times of the year here in Eugene.

    UO if you want a medium sized town with nature all around. 45 minutes to the ocean. 45 minutes in the other direction to the mountains.  If you are an outdoor person, it is the way to go but Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a real thing. It can really hit people when we hit that stretch of 8 or so months of cloudy.  I can speak directly to UO as I work here if you have any particular questions.

    Udub if they want the urban experience. Seattle is a fun city.  Personally, I'd rather send a kiddo to UW but UO is a great experience as well.  Housing costs are expensive in both. 

  3. I live in Eugene and have been to games at Autzen.

    It isn't the loudest stadium but it can generate decent volume.  I think it is a pretty solid venue and there isn't really a bad seat in the house.  I would park by campus and walk through Alton Baker park to the stadium.  Great walk and is a fun way to approach the venue.  Alternatively, you could shuttle in from the Valley River Center (off Delta Highway) if you don't want to deal with traffic.

    Good news.  I like.  But wtf is the front of that jacket supposed to say?

    Texas.  The X is on both sides when unbuttoned.  The right side of the x does curve a bit though and looks like an e.
