Student Guide to Living in Eugene, OR

The big move to college can bring about plenty of changes to your daily life. For example, you might need to learn where to eat or where to study around campus. That’s why we at the Titan Court Student Housing came up with the Student Guide to Living in Eugene, TX. We want our local students to get to know Eugene and get involved with the student community and culture!

Getting To Know Your Campus

Let’s start our Student Guide to Living in Eugene, OR by exploring the campuses around town. Getting to know your campus before your first day of class can help you get there early and maybe even help others find their way around campus. That’s why we suggest you study your campus map as well as take a day to venture through your future campus.

Here are all the maps and information you’ll need to make your way around the campuses in Eugene:

Forms of Transportation in Eugene, OR

Next, on our Student Guide to Living in Eugene, OR is some important information on popular transportation methods. We want you to save as much money as you can on transportation during your college years. Here is some valuable information that’ll help you find the best transportation methods for you in Eugene:

Car

Most of our students get around Eugene with their own vehicle. The biggest perk about driving your own vehicle is being able to go where you want on demand. Of course, we encourage everyone to have their own small car to get around and save some money on gas. Another thing to consider when you drive your own vehicle is the parking permit to park in your school parking lot. For example, the parking permit for the University of Oregon usually runs for about $33 a month. Of course, if you live within walking distance to the campus you can save yourself the monthly fee by walking to class.

Bicycle

Bringing a bike to college is a great idea for those who like staying active and want to save some money on gas. Just make sure your student housing has enough space to store your bike.

The University of Oregon also has a great Bike Program in case you’re looking to rent a bike for personal use. Renting a bike from the university can be as cheap as $50 per academic term or $10 a day. It’s an extremely useful transportation alternative for those who live under 5 miles from school and work.

Bus

You can always ride the bus in case your car ever breaks down or want to try it out. The LTD System does a pretty good job of covering major landmarks across Eugene and Springfield.

Walking

Eugene, Oregon covers a little over 40 square miles, so we don’t suggest that you rely on walking as a primary method of getting around. Although you can’t walk everywhere, there are still plenty of activities you can do during your days off. You can have a nice stroll around Alton Baker Park or explore the downtown district for a day.
