[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class of '97 here. I haven't been back in 15 years but Eugene is easily one of the best college towns in the country. I loved my time there. You are 45 minutes from the coast, world class fly fishing, Excellent skiing, mild climate, basically no real crime other than petty theft. It would be a perfect place to retire.

My only concern is it went waaaaay left and I went a good bit right in the last 30 years.[/quote]

I feel the same.  Loved it there! But it was hard-left in the early 90s and has gotten way further left since then. Like: Lenin-worshipping, uber-radical left.[/quote]

Is the fraternity scene at least a refuge for strong, traditional, conservative men?[/quote]

Nah. The "strong" traditional men tend to come from rural parts of the state, so east of the Cascades and south of the Willamette Valley. These are boys/men who can dig a well, or chop a cord of wood, or swap out an engine. They tend not to be interested in cosplaying masculinity, nor in the drunk fratty mode of masculinity. That's mostly suburban white boys acting out their teenage rebellion by listening to Rogan. [/quote]
