University of Oregon

Eugene, OR

Oregon's flagship public university in Eugene, known for strong journalism and architecture programs, deep ties to Nike (co-founded by a UO alum and coach, which shows up in the football program's ever-changing uniforms), and a track and field tradition ("Tracktown USA") that runs through campus identity, alongside a solid Greek scene and Pac-12 athletics.
