The UO campus is actually an arboretum! Take a couple of hours to wander around campus, where you can see hundreds of huge, beautiful trees as well as historically and culturally significant sites such as Fenton Hall and Deady Hall (the University's first two buildings), Johnson Hall and the EMU fishbowl (of Animal House fame), the historic Pioneer Cemetary, and probably the best recreation center on any campus, anywhere (but maybe I'm biased).
