About Eugene, Oregon

Eugene is a city in and the county seat of Lane County, Oregon, United States. The first people to settle in the Eugene area were the Chifin band of the Kalapuyans, also written Calapooia or Calapooya. Eugene is known for its countercultural lifestyle and hippy aesthetic. Beginning in the 1960s, the ideas and viewpoints espoused by area native Ken Kesey became established as the seminal elements of the vibrant social tapestry that continue to define Eugene.

Weigh it value

The payoff is less clear-cut here — weigh the debt against the earnings and your intended field before borrowing heavily.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
