What is it like living in Eugene?

[u/themetalship]

My wife might be getting a high paying healthcare job in Eugene, so we are curious what it is like to live there. I have a background in education (direct instruction, academic site management, higher ed). I'm open to other career paths, as the job prospects worry me a bit.

We also want to know how it is to live there. We lived in az for most of our lives. We've been in Texas (DFW) for 3 years. Any insight is appreciated.

Eugene is not a city, it is a big town that thinks it is a city. There is some good food, lots of nature, and can be a lot of fun, but personally it can also be kinda boring, which I'm not saying is a bad thing. I will say, if the high paying healthcare job is with peace health, I'd look into it extensively before deciding to move for that company...
