Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus housing in Eugene can be convenient and cheap, depending on how far off campus you’re willing to look. The vast majority of student housing is found in the many apartment complexes located near Autzen Stadium, across from the Willamette River (roughly a 10-minute drive from campus). University Commons, Ducks Village, and Chase Village all offer newer apartments at reasonable prices and try to cater to student needs. Although it’s a bit of a walk from campus, the LTD bus line runs frequently near all apartments and is free to students.

As far as housing within a short walk of campus, it’s hit or miss. Several houses and apartment complexes are located just a few blocks from UO, though their prices vary greatly. Apartments close to campus tend to run the same price as apartments by Autzen, but they are more confined and have fewer amenities. If you want housing for the fall, you’ll need to start looking in the spring, preferably early—everything will have filled up by the time summer rolls around, and you’ll have a lot of trouble finding anywhere to live. In general, prices tend to be reasonable and cheaper than living in the dorms. Although it’s a little less convenient than being on campus constantly, the freedom that comes along with your own apartment will make it worthwhile, especially in your later years at the University.

Off-Campus Housing

University of Oregon offeres many different off-campus apartments that look better than the on campus rooms, and are cheeper, i strongly recommend trying to live off campus, because many of the facilities are really close to the school, so its not that bad.

Not Off Campus

I don't live off campus, but almost everyone lives off campus after their first year. There is always enough housing, but you may not get your first choice.

Some Good Housing, but You Have to Look Around for It.

The housing around the campus is plentiful and easy to find a place if you have the cash. There are a couple companies that rent out most of the property in town, but they overcharge on rent and lock you into long-term contracts. The better deals are to find houses willing to rent out to college students. Or even better, there are student co-ops run and operated by students. It is extremely cheap and a great environment to be in.
