Western Oregon University

Very Small Town

Although Monmouth is very charming, it is also very very small. There are many days that there is almost nothing to do unless you drive to another town.

Very Safe

The campus is very small and the campus police are always around so I have never felt unsafe when i am on campus, even at night.

I'm Used to the Rain

It rains a lot in Monmouth, but i am from Portland and it rains even more there so i am used to it. I could understand that it would be hard to adjust to this weather if you were from somewhere nicer.
