University of Oregon. What can you tell me?

The University of Oregon is on my sons short list for colleges. He's a math/science guy who's not yet entirely sure what he wants to do after college. There are only a few California schools he's really interested in, and he's a marginal candidate for those. He'd love UC Santa Barbara, but he doesn't have a 4.0. He's extremely bright, but was pretty unfocused academically early in high school. He does not want to go to a California State University.

The U. of Oregon appeals to him for a few reasons; he's heard it has a good science curriculum and he loves the idea of going to a division I Pac-10 school (He loves sports).

My son is a good kid. Never been in any trouble at all. No drugs. Never even had a speeding ticket. Another option for him is to spend two years at the local community college then transfer in to UC Santa Barbara or UCLA for his last two years. That would be OK, but he'll miss out on those first two years of "dorm life".

Well, Pelicans. What can you tell me about the University of Oregon or the city of Eugene, OR?
