College Prowler Take

In Eugene, expect rain—a lot of it. There is no avoiding this part of the climate, and you can most definitely expect it for six or more months of the year. However, this near-constant downpour adds to the lush beauty of the UO’s campus, making everything very green. Oregon generally receives a mild dose of all four seasons, without any especially excessive weather. The autumn is cool and calm, winter cold and wet, and spring warm and bright. If you’re around for summer, expect high temperatures and a lot of opportunities for fun in the sun.

Students often complain about the rain, but most learn to adjust and dress appropriately. Many appreciate the sun much more when it comes around, and there is really no better place than Eugene on a warm spring day. It’s key to dress in layers and carry an umbrella all the time because Oregon’s climate can catch you off guard pretty easily.

I can’t lie; it does rain a lot. However, that means it’s always really pretty and green. When the sun does shine, everyone camps out on the lawns and basks in the sun or plays Frisbee between classes.

Eugene weather sucks for most of the year. From October to about April, you’ll want to have warm clothes to wear because once it starts raining (around October), it won’t stop for seven or eight months. It also gets very cold during the winter months. When the sun does come out, however, it’s very hot, so be sure to pack summer clothes as well.
