Mortuary Science is a good one for people who don’t mind dead bodies.

Congrats.

As an Oregon State student I’m contractually obligated to malign the Ducks, though. I thus malign them.

Congratulations! I spent a summer in Oregon while I was in college, enjoyed Eugene and met a lot of interesting people there .

I think you’ve got it perfect in Eugene, a town bigger than a college town but not too big. Portland is near enough for a big city escape.

If she’s got any interest in running, Eugene is one of the best places in the USA for it.
