Answer 1 :
Monmouth has Western Oregon University. I think the population is about 8,000 people.
Answer 2 :
Monmouth is a small, rural college town as is Lagrande, home Eastern Oregon Univ. Monmouth is cold and wet in the winter, located in the Willamette Valley and Lagrande is cold and snow in the winter and located in "The alps of America" about 150 miles from Boise, Idaho.
Answer 3 :
Corvallis has a campus of University of Oregon. Medford has Southern Oregon University
Answer 4 :
I went to Southern Oregon University and it's actually located in Ashland, Oregon and not Medford. Ashland is a cool place, really beautiful, and has the Shakespeare festival. Definitely a small town.
Answer 5 :
Whitman College is outside of Walla Walla, Washington. VERY rural. I'd go with Monmouth over Corvalis or Medford. They are a bit bigger and less rural than Monmouth. You drive right through the fields to get to Western Oregon University. Eastern Oregon University is in La Grande which is in the boonies. Not as many farms--more industrial, drier climate boonies. A lot of dust and gravel out that way.
Answer 6 :
Pacific University (Forest Grove, OR) Oregon State University (Corvallis, OR) Washington State University (Pullman, WA) Southern Oregon University (Ashland, OR) Linfield College (McMinnville, OR) George Fox University (Newberg, OR)
Answer 7 :
pullman washington is where washinton state university is. population is less than 50,000
