About Student Housing in Springfield
Springfield is Eugene's twin city, directly across the Willamette River to the east, and its student housing market is a direct extension of Eugene's University of Oregon market. Rents are generally lower than Eugene for comparable units, and the EmX BRT runs from Springfield through UO's campus, making the commute manageable without a car. Lane Community College's main campus is in South Eugene near Springfield's border, drawing additional student renters. Springfield lacks Eugene's neighborhood character but makes up for it with lower prices.
