Final comments

Honestly, Corvallis is not a vivid city, so there is not much to do. However, I tried to learn about my host country as much as possible and to make my stay abroad as special as possible. And I succeeded. So, you can do it as well! My travel tips: in Oregon: Silver Falls and of course the coast!!! in Washington: Seattle in British Columbia: Vancouver Hawaii! - If you can do it, do it!!

It is a great place if you want to experience the typical American university town. The teacher an students are all very nice and helpful. They both show a genuine interest to get to know you and where you come from.
